I too commend the suggestion to power the usb chip direct and I shall try this out and compare the result with other (electrically safer) means of powering the unit. I do not however, accept the premise that direct powering by battery without further bypassing offers a universally better sound from the Regen.
What is not acceptable has been the poster's attempt to insult others who commented on the suggested setup and the justifications for so doing on the basis of selective abstracts from learned 'papers', and on the author's 5 years experience on powering his own manufactured devices.
There is plenty of evidence that battery power has longevity and operational issues. Connecting a charging unit permanently to avoid running out of juice is simply to connect a relatively poorer power in parallel to supply to the chip. To say that this does not affect SQ is not credible either.
Follow Ups:
Hey, Fred, apologies for being offensive to you & Soundcheck but you both have engaged in a multitude of snide & unhelpful posts which add nothing to the thread. Neither you nor he seem to be interested in this area & yet you account for the majority of the posts & noise on this thread.
I don't intend to engage further with your negativity as so much of what you say is uninformed & plain incorrect.
Theob posted in the other thread that he hears no audible difference between the battery SOLELY powering the Regen & when the battery is being trickled charged while powering the Regen.
As I said, I have ample experience in the use of these batteries to know what I'm talking about & don't wish to deal with your unfounded & uninformed points.
The proof of who is the bullshitter & who knows what they are talking about will become clear as further posters try using the CORRECT battery with their Regens.
If you are truly open to others' views in an open forum, then you accept them as are, and not indulge in selective quotes and posts that are based on your own and one other inmate's listening (not rationally or technically based) impressions of a multi variable computer audio system.
I would challenge anyone who parallels a charger with a battery to show that this is a universally neutral step to take wrt to sound quality. One may as well use a charger into a super capacitor as is currently implemented in a high end usb audio processor.
Like some other manufacturers, you need to avoid being paranoid if you decide to take part in open discussions here, and not act as though you own a thread.
If you read and had understood what I said, it was simply that the are many ways to alter and tune a system fed by a Regen. I was also the first to point out in CA that it did not have the best power supply chip. I would also try out battery power anytime, provided that it is safe for the electronics and long lasting
Look, I said I wouldn't answer you again but seeing as you are being somewhat reasonable, I will this time.The point is that this isn't a general thread about "how to improve the Regen" - it was specifically set up dealing with one specific improvement & you (& soundcheck) have been dragging it off topic for most of your posts.
I have chosen this specific tweak after having investigated the Regen, because:
- it's easy to do
- it's reversible
- it's cheap
- it's the best sonic improvement for the money & effort
- it has been verified by a number of people as being the best they have heard from the Regen - not just by two people on this forum.You started off sceptical on this thread, as many others did, which is fine - that's always my starting position, as I said. When I answered your points you started to get insulting, for some reason, about my quoting of papers on battery noise (did you ever read that paper?) & joined in with Soundcheck's snide comments on my commercial interests. Both of you have been engaged in just creating noise on this thread with off-topic posts
If you have suggestions for other ways to improve the Regen & better options then, as I suggested before, start another thread - don't pollute this one - this is about a specific tweak
