Please advise: Upgrade Theta Gen V or PS Audio PW
Thanks Jfeldt.That is the same with mine. I did a lot of chassis and cover damping and I also decoupled the power supply boeard from the chassis mounting posts with some rubber isolators. All that minimized the noise and I can only hear it if I ge...
