Hi Shane,

Not sure if it's me or Rich that you are asking the questions to.

Rich has done the opamp bipass and I have been dabbling with linear power supplies.

The linear supply that I am now using is a torodial trafo, 10,000 uf smoothing cap and LM317 regulators in series (first one set at 22v and the second at 15v). This gives 15v and 1A at the output. The trafo is a really quiet little beauty.

The sound from the Caiman with this supply is detailed, beautifully smooth and very enjoyable. The bass has taken a leap forward as well over my previous cheapo linear and really powerful and authoritive when needed.

Got me grinning!

Regards

Chris
