thank you for putting into perspective

Hi Cics,

Thank you for putting the ‘not so white’ paper from MSB into perspective.

* On power supply.
I’m glad you mention use of linear PSU’s.
Improving the power supply (in my setup and my situation) yielded the most sound quality improvement.
May be on your website, you should encourage people somewhat more, to improve the power supply of a cMP setup.

For instance: you encourage the use of 2 ATX PSU’s.
But what about encouraging people too use 2 linear driven Pico’s?
I know: Pico’s are also ‘switchers’. But it’s my feeling that 2 switching Pico’s give better sound quality, than using 2 (switching) ATX PSU’s. I don’t know why that is. It’s just my impression from listening.

* Suggestion for new speakers.
It will not come as a big surprise: I would recommend too have a good listen too active speakers. I think the whole concept of active speakers is a much better approach. Technically as well as economically. Have a good look at manufacturers like: ATC, PMC, Quested, Geithain, ect
