Replacing wall warts

Steve, many years ago I bought a JLTi phono stage. That was in their early production and they recommended a wall wart was perfectly adequate. However a good friend who knew much more about electronics than I did built a regulated power supply for me. Similar to your experience it made a significant sonic difference -- added dynamics, greater spatiality, cleaner more defined bass, etc.

I reported that to JLTi and soon after they began offering an outboard PS alternative to the wart.

Recently I got a Hagerman Trumpet MC phono stage. There are reports of improvements with the Sbooster. Jim promised to try one so I'm looking forward to that report. But I must say the Trumpet is very good with the wart.
