Power cord for project debut carbon8/31/2023 ![]() ![]() I mean i can spend that money, but i would prefer to do for a better upgrade. Maybe with a Performance dc i can understand the battery clearaudio psu, but with the concept the ratio is 50% of the value it is Too much, for me. ![]() Maybe the original PSU with he battery of Clearaudio might be better, being a battery, but to get that you need 1000 dollars and i think that it is a little bit too much even because you can get things with high quality from Teddy Pardo or MCRU for 400 bucks. Besides my suggestion is to to spend 10% of the value. Frankly a TT that costs more than 4000 buck to get that wall plug in psu is unacceptable. When i had the Concept, i adjust the speed with the original and frankly adding the chinese PSU and re adjust because the speed became higher, the quality of the output was better with the PSU: darker, a bigger stage, and separation and less noise.įor these reason i suggest to buy a better psu. Anyway with the original psu the speed was lower: 32.67. The only test i did was to check the speed, but i did with an app, that you or someone else said it is not reliable. Project now provide an optional PS to replace the plug top with their Xtension 10 turntable and reviewer Paul Rigby (The Audiophileman) reported a significant lift in SQ.ĭetailed description of differences from around 15.00 mins.Ĭlick to expand.Your first question was to explain the improvements, and i did and it turned out that you had the same experience. I'm sure the Clear Audio addons likely make a difference but they are charging crazy prices and frankly they should provide something better than a plug top PS with a TT in this price bracket. Mobile phones and strobes likely won't show any significant differences. Sometimes it's difficult to describe improvements but you can't dismiss claims of blacker backgrounds lower surface noise and more precise timing. Examples would be the Michell Orbe controller and Linn Lingo 4. If the box is a linear PS with a speed control function that more accurately regulates the motor speed and reduces motor noise then there are advantages. Variability of speed can cause shifting of soundstage.Ĭlick to expand.A simple linear power supply likely won't make a difference but I remember a lot of people swearing by the Naim Armageddon model for the LP12. Incorrect speed - faster or slower - affects sound quality because it changes pitch and timbre. Sometimes, the factory-supplied switching power supply has a fault (e.g., because of incorrect DC voltage output, or because of variability of its output) when a turntable is not operating at 33.33 RPM and an after-market linear power supply (or a better quality switching power supply) can solve the problem. Some are electrically/electronically quieter than the units supplied with, for example, a turntable or phono preamp. I have tried many different after-market power supply units. ![]() Because a power supply is supposed to do a very specific job consistently and unvaryingly over time, the obvious other question to ask is what was the platter speed measurement before (with the factory-supplied power supply) versus the measurement with the replacement (linear? switching?) PSU? If you don’t have that answer, no problem, but almost tropes about dark backgrounds and soundstage don’t actually help or tell us anything about what your turntable needed that its factory-supplied PSU was not providing. Such statements have no measurable basis. So, my question is about exactly what the after-market PSU did with respect to platter/motor speed that the factory-supplied PSU did not? If you don’t have that answer, specifically, then statements such as “.the background is darker, the stage becomes bigger, and more details.” are not helpful.
