Hi Alex,

My supply is currently a "Dual Reg" by Greg Ball ...

Good, but not great. I've got a discrete shunt reg based on Salas' design almost finished too that should be better. What about you - what are you doing for a PSU?

My trannies are Jensen 4:1 step down types. The Lundahls my be OK without caps too .... perhaps you could email them to find out?

Hi Dan,

I plan on using "Golden Reference" power supplies for my Legato, and Paul Hynes for the BII. They're no Paul Hynes, but I find them really good for analog applications. Not nearly as good for digital though.

I got a reply from Kevin (from K&K Audio), he said 6~7mV would "cause you to lose some low bass". I just wrote him another e-mail asking about the severity of the issue. If it seriously hinders performance, I may add caps or go for gapped transformers. Not sure which is the lesser evil Did you hear something similar from Jensen?

Edit: Oh and btw, I finally got my BII+Legato today! "The post office doesn't deliver mail on Sundays", you say. No they don't, but I was determined enough to drive through a typhoon to pick it up.


Cheers,
Alex
