RE: Using 2 ATX PSUs??

Thanks. I've been looking at commercial linear supplies to use as the basis for an easy fully linear setup... WOAH, these things are expensive!

While my home-built linears don't have much less cost in materials, I can use very premium parts (Jensen 4-pole capacitors, good soft-recovery diodes) in them... and my experiences so far strongly say that sound quality is related to the quality of the supply and it's parts.

I was surprised when I heard the sonic signature I associate with various capacitor types (Elna Silmec, Panasonic FM and FC) when they were used on either the computer supplies or the 'dirty' (harddrive, USB, and screen) supplies. I don't have an explanation for this, but the sonic results were clear.

Still, a commercial linear setup may useful.
