RE: "always going to be better than a single power supply"

If you have a dual power transformer and dual separate for each channel,I would agree..

Case in point..I posted a Mac Mc30 the other day pushing 48 watts at.1%. If that was a single supply pushing two channels in a stereo amp at the same time,it would have a hard time making those numbers.
With a big enough power transformer that deliver enough current for two channels and a well isolated supply,you would have a better chance but as a rule commercially designed amps don't work that way. A custom amp is a different story.
