I've got 3 different vinyl pressings and two CD versions!

DSOTM Live at Wembley 50th Anniversary the instrumental sequence on the Money track is brilliant.

"1) Why does a "good" power supply make such a difference to audio gear? What is a good power supply doing?" If you look at the circuit of a power amp, the only thing between the output of the power supply (the terminals of the big smoothing capacitors) and the loudspeaker, is an output...

Yet to try the Allo Digi One to feed SP/DIF to the R26.....

I have recently flashed to the latest firmware on my R26 and am experimenting between a LAN feed from a Catalyst 2960 switch and USB feed from a Micro Rendu with a DIY PSU based on an spare Supercap board. Both are very good. I have also dumped the pre-amp this week and am feeding my Avondale...

Looks neat as always. Did you change the filter circuits to copy the r/c values in the 82 pre? When I 6-railed my 102 with Andy Weekes' regs the filter mod helped.

I have not changed anything that can’t be undone. I even have a bag of NOS Roe caps should they be needed.

Hi Martin, thanks for your kind words and helpful (as always) suggestions. I will follow them of course. one interesting point: the NAIT 2 has a 0V line from the PCB via the earth terminal on the back to the mains lead earth. So if you use a Naim CDP you will end up with 2 joined connections...
