cics recommended the ANTEC Earthworks EA430

Grant,

(now that I see your name, was not on the post below I responded to)

The above was recommended for it low ripple voltage.

It is very inexpensive. See link below:

Use Alfred (sonics) recommendation of adding some high quality capacitance to the rails, he uses the excellent SIKORELS which are not readily available in the US. I used the ELNA Silmics from Digi-Key, though I was tempted to use Black Gates.

This combo is likely hard to beat. I find the thing to be very quiet but my listening chair is almost twenty feet from the computer.

The fanless FORTRON supplies, from my internet based research (which is next to meaningless, I know) but the newer FORTRON, which is available from NEWEGG, also, is supposed to be well made, unlike the earlier one that got a mention, but I do not remember anything distinguished about its ripple performance.

Hope this is of use.

Bye,

Rick McInnis
