Re: [motm] Upgrading power supply

2006-07-26 by gregorykjar

Hi

Off course money is always an issue but my advice is DONT 
UNDERESTIMATE THE PSU. I´ve done a lot of DIY stuff so when I 
started my modular setup with some MOTM filters I used an old 
7815 / 7915 PSU (even though Paul S adviced me that it wasnt good 
enough) and I had all sorts of hum problems. Not loud but enough to 
influence sound in a bad way. 
I finished my DIY cabinet in March and bought a PowerOne directly 
from Farnell and mounted in the cabinet and the sound improvement 
was BIG. 

just my 2 cents

Gregory
