How to reduce power supply noise.
03-12-09: PsacanliIf you read the details of the modifications that are commonly done by Reference Audio Modifications it might give you a beginning. I linked to RAM's Cambridge 840c mod, but all their power supply mods are similar at their core. RAM also sells parts. Back when Modwright specialized in modifications, Dan often detailed what was done to the power supplies. He may still have some of this info on his website. |
Thanks for info Tvad. I am not considering spending $2000-$3000 on upgrades to my Lexington RT-20; which presently sells for about $1000 brand new. (I have invested that in MIT power conditioning/isolation products and power cords and find every cent well spent. Incredible enhancement to detail, purity, delicacy and dynamics-this RT-20 is a surprisingly musical player in my Spectral/MIT system.)I would like to do mods myself; double shipping money can be spent on parts. I'm thinking along the lines of perhaps small bypass caps that would be easily installed or perhaps a Bybee product, or isolation for the transformer or anti vibration for the transformer. |
Are you asking this with the intention of doing some modifications yourself, or are you asking with the intention of purchasing a modification? That's why I asked this question earlier. Had I known you were intending to DIY, I wouldn't have linked to RAM or mentioned Modwright. Member Dgarretson does a lot of DIY modding. Perhaps an email to him would be valuable. |
I personally had a surprisingly improved signal to noise reduction from using Alan Maher's Power Enhancer products The idea is each device treats the power line in your home which feeds your equipment by removing AC power supply related artifacts. I was shocked that this was indeed the case. Consider most equipment in your house has a power supply running on the line and its effects are relatively unknown till now. Less money spent great bang for the buck and his new products now use Quantum treatment with Bybee technology. |
