RE: Unbelievable:

I've read where designers / engineering types have put HUGE power supplies (relative to deman) into stuff like preamps and other lower power gear. While my preamp MAY have something like a 30 to 50 VA transformer and appropriated sized caps and rectifier, it may benefit from maybe a 200VA transformer and being 'up-capped'.
Just a guess, but PERCEIVED benefit of MORE PS may continue to somewhere between 5x and 10x the calculated need. But that's just a sheer GUESS.

I'm not about to try THAT level of 'fix', but DO want a beefier power cord.
Too much is never enough
