Sample Test - Five Power supplies sampled... for YOU!

Do power supplies matter? Well... YEAH! And to let you hear it for yourself, we sampled five nice PSU's for you... including a stock one.

We used the very nice Volumio Primo in this test. The reason is that this little streamer shows EVERYTHING very easily.

Thank you. This is very interesting and helpful. I was intrigued by power supplies but thanks to your demo I see now it's probably the last thing I would upgrade as I am quite happy with the SQ of the standard power supply FWIW :)

[juststuff]

Having this set up in your listening space or mine, will change the sound far more than a $20, 000 cable or $30, 000 piece of kit!!!

Farad sounded like the stock power wow haha. Plixir is on another level

[JRadian]

For comparison like this, you need to play the exact same part of the song with different power supplies. The louder passages will *seem* to sound better obviously.

If you don't have money to burn and want a versatile Linear Power Supply check out the KECES P3, I 've been real happy with mine. My only complaint is it runs a bit warm. Cheers!

Great video. Easy to her The difference between the PSU’s. My Clear favorit is Farad 🤓👍

[audiotom]

Well done, thank you!
I could clearly hear a difference, even through my working Headphones (Poly BT700). The stock PS is "ok'ish" but seems to be very flat in terms of soundstage (even if there is no real soundstage on this headphone). Liked the Plixier the most, but hey, from the price of an Plixier and an Primo i could buy a used Linn Akurate DS, and i dont think that is too bad in comparison).

Farad for me, Plixir second. Thanks for the review.

Super interesting stuff done by AA, tx!

FYI, at home in my system the differences on a project streaming bridge (streambox ultra s2) between stock smpsu, attached ifi dc purifier, sbooster, sbooster with ifi dc purifier, added excellent furutech power cable and padis fuse, added sbooster ultra (an advanced L/C circuit) are VERY easy to distinguish, so that the differences between PSUs tested here by AA *might* be alot bigger and more impressive in reality

[georgecav]

Just had another listen. I like a lively sound so sbooster caught my ears but possibly more fatiguing so Plixir would be my choice based on this listening

[georgecav]

All are better then the stock one but otherwise hard to tell. Pura was kind of more natural. Might be too much work but playing the same 12sec or so music segment sequentially may make it easier

[AbsoluteFidelity]

Am I wrong to like the Plixir Statement more than others? Might be placebo, might be certain parts of the song that differs but the Plixir does it for me in this particular demo.

[wickie]

Farad Super10 seems way ahead of the others. seems to add an Open Rich texture to the vocals.

My ears pricked up when i heard the Plixir in the first song. Do you have the Chord shawline dc cable made specially for the Plixir? I found that they added more dynamic and detail, crazy stuff!! Great demo as usual 🙂

[VanillaIceCoffee]

if you hear a difference the audio component is at fault, the provided PSU is bad.

[gnd]

Will there be another speaker comparison video in the future?

[jearley]

Thought i could hear very subtle differences. I noticed the Innuos Streamer. Have you done any presentation on it? Beautiful speakers!!

[krzysztofgilowski]

thank you, what is the difference between power supply and power conditioner?

[edgoewie]

Hello, got to much distracted by the " music "

[c.j.vanwoerden]

Ben diverse sample tests en live streams aan het bingewatchen. In deze test dus powersupplies. Vraagje: welk apparaat wordt voorzien van de power supply?
