And yes, I unplug phones or iPads if they are charging before I sit down to do real listening :)

Invictus005:You are correct in that I have an OLED, cable box..etc all connected to the mains. The solution is that they are connected through multiple Monster power strips. When I want to really listen to my system without compromise, I press the...

Invitus005:not sure about the GAE and it's inlet as I've not taken it apart yet for the PS transplant. I've heard many devices with those filters and they are not terribly effective at blocking all the high frequency noise and the associated harmo...

lewm: sorry about your name above, autocorrect butchered it and I didn't see it before posting.

Lewis:I have never seen a situation where a high frequency noisy SMPS was superior to a well implemented linear. Doesn't mean it's not possible but I have yet to experience a SMPS powered device that didn't degrade the sound. They always inject th...

Totem395:I was surprised as well. I understand it for the G series as that table offer an incredible amount of technology and build quality for $4k, so I figure the SMPS was a way to save money in the building and the shipping of the units (weight...

I own a GAE and a SP10 MK3 NGS (Artisan Fidelity) and I can tell you that the new SP10R is not a new SP 10 MK3. The platter of the MK 3 has quite a bit more mass, the motor is far more powerful on the MK 3 but probably most importantly are the dif... 
Static Electricity on Vinyl
Titus1;I have the Furutech Destat 2 and 3. The 2 has served me well for about 3 years but the 3 is far more powerful.there have been times I've had to run the 2 over a record 5 or 6 times with the unit set to the longer run time. The 3 is just mor... 
review iPhono 2
I will check out Interstellar. I also have "Hans Zimmer - The Classics" and some of the theme music from Interstellar is on this album. You're in for a surprise, shock when and if you add a LPS.

Correction: "Hans Zimmer Live in Prague". Sorry Hans, autocorrect. 
review iPhono 2
James1969:Absolutely, the iPower is a very good supply especially for a SMPS, but it does not compete with the 20 something pound linear regulated pyramid supply which uses an EI transformer. Due to the air gap in their design, EI tranformers are ... 
review iPhono 2
So back to the topic lf my thread, how many have actually used a linear power supply with your iPhono 2 and what are your thoughts? I was listening to an album I recently purchased "Hans Zimmerman Live in Prague", it was spectacular!I've considere...

Forgive my typos please, too early and I need coffee.  
review iPhono 2
I'm going to correct myself. At 72dB with a 200mv output the iPhono 2 should be able to handle a .05mv cart. I sometimes revert back to my old passive pre (MFA Reference) days and forget I'm running an active gain stage these days. That is plenty ...
