I am convinced that the overbuilt power supply is one of the reasons my Yamaha C2x sounds so good. This preamp is heavier than a few of my power amps!

When you think about it, devices that amplify are merely controls for the power supply. :)
Sure enough. EE courses used to actually teach that - I wonder if they still do? So much effort spent on signal path designs, and often the PS is neglected. Take a look at the Dynaco Stereo 70, for example. All kinds of mods to the PC board and different combinations of tubes; but the freak'n power transformer is undersized. That was also true of my Eico HF20 integrated amp. The power transformer got really hot in use; but that's another story.

FVA takes care of that today with his Ultravalve amp. :)
