RE: Greg, thanks - and comments

If I've learned anything over the past 6 years of getting back into audio tweaking, it's that my signature, 'Everything Matters', is more true than I ever imagined.

That I heard a clear difference between Panasonic FMs, a combination of Panasonic FM's & Elna Silmec, all Elna Silmec, and finally a combo of Jensen 4-poles and Black Gates in the linear power supplies that feed my HDD, Zalman screen, and USB port was a revelation to me. Guess which sounded better?

More recently, hearing the sonic signature of those Silmecs again (which isn't a bad one, just one I don't personally like) when they were used in my linear computer supplies, even when finally the only one in the supply was the one across the output of the -12v supply that I turned off after the system was started, had me concerned that either 'EVERYTHING REALLY MATTERS!' or that I was going batty.

Can I explain it? No, not really, I'm not that technical. But I'm very comfortable in reporting it and stating what I've learned, that if a SMPS isn't designed or modified to be good sounding, it is not good enough in my audio system, even for the digital circuits, even for the things that I can't imagine will make a difference like the Zalman's screen or the HDD!

Waiting expectently for your report!
