[sdiy] Buchla switching supplies

[James Patchell]

There is nothing wrong with switchers...per say.  I have used switchers for 
powering low noise electronics that is even more critical than 
audio...however...it has to be done right.  Done wrong...and you will not 
be able to get rid of the noise...trouble is...a lot of commercial 
switchers are not done right...I have found that if I want good low noise 
from a switching power supply...I have to do it myself.  Even so, if you 
are careful with your grounding and power routing...even with most 
commercial supplies, you can get pretty good performance.
