It could be ridicolous but true.....

Hi Mark
I must report this new experience.
This morning I was working on the Essence of my "little cMP2", a portable unit that I've build to allow my friends to listen a cMP2 in their systems.
It was intriguin also for the PSU challenge, using the discrete Switching unit of Silverstone SUGO SG 5 coupled to a picoPSU (150 XT) through a run of Silmic (4000 mF) (also feeding the 12V of Xonar). Another run of Silmic was in the 5V line to the Xonar and 2000mF was put on the P4 line.
The "Sughetto" was build around an Intel 13 530 CPU (COOLER THERMALTAKE Ventirad Slim X3), a Gigabyte H55NUSB3 miniITX , a SSN Corsair for OS and one RAM Kingston 1GB 1333MHz DDR3 Non-ECC CL9 DIMM. It works well, it's a good Ambassador for cMP2 and, sincerely, it sounds really great-
On the table, this morning I've found the P24 extension with ferrites, the Sugo case was open and so, I put it on the P 24.
FANTASTIC RESULT!!!!
More air, more harmonic richesse, more silence in the background.
At this point I've added another ferrite on the P4 cable. Even better.
Now I must suppose that:
- This is a different mobo, with very different regulators
- In every line where I've put ferrites it exists a run of capacitors
- The phenomenon I've observed yesterday in the other my system is not due by picoPSU or Soundboard, in this case closer to ferrites then in other system

Here you are my nude "Sughetto"




The Essence side




The Ferrites and capacitors side




PS: here there are fans inside: impossible to avoid them.
