I finally had an opportunity to experience the "XL600" 16 output power module on the CLC power supplies... It is astoundingly powerful, refined with incredible finesse and sense of power. I drove the Maggies in ways that I have never heard from them.
The classic *bang - blur* fast leading edge, slow trailing edge, (to me) typical of Magnepan's even on world class, monster power amps... was virtually absent. The sound of the 600 power module, driven by Franken-amp CLC power supply transformed the nature of the "XL600" and the Maggies... I struggled to take it out of the circuit ~ to hear the "DH500" power module with the Exicon MOSFETS.
The improvements and refinement continues in a very linear and meaningful ways... AS WE KNOW ~ THE AMP IS THE POWER SUPPLY ~ it's abilities and/or limitations... The beefy supply helps to better hear the refinements in the amp module (the circuit) and the better circuit helps to better understand the improvements in the power supply. The lens of truth and understanding lays everything out very clearly.
Going step, by step through the various build stages of the power module... without limitations of the power supply (unregulated power supply sag) noise, etc., has been vital to linear understanding.
The DH500 shown, in the foreground now gets converted back to normal with integrated internal power supply after experimenting with the CLC supply.
