    Default Common sense improvement after 6 years.

    My turntable is powered from a presumably cheap wall wart 24v which has always been plugged into the Musicworks distribution block along with the other stuff. Last week I removed it to a different wall socket. Result - better sound from the rest of the gear. Why didn’t I twig that these transformers Chuck muck into the mains - I should know better. Is seems that Clearaudio do a upgraded power supply for the turntable but at 2K I’ll give it a miss....

    I'm sure there's no shortage of sources for much better power supplies... Probably from about 10% of the price of the Clearaudio one... all a big improvement I'd think on a wall wart.!

    Indeed, plenty of 24v PSUs available. I've always found TTs to be very responsive to power supply upgrades - systemdek, Gyro, Gyro SE, Gyro again, Technics 1210, turbo-charged* Thorens 150.

    Thanks for the link. I see MCRU do a unit for the Clearaudio turntable with the correct connector for £650.
