Mac Mini Power Supply

I recently built a linear power supply for my Mac Mini. The difference in sound quality was one of the single largest performance upgrades I've made to my system in years.

I was wondering if anyone else has had any experience with their mac mini PSU upgrades and what your experiences are. It's one of those upgrades I wish I had made months ago.

I've always been a big believer in the source being the most important component in the system. Followed by the power supply being one of the most important parts within the component. At least in this case, it appears that was correct.

Mintzar, unlike you I'm not trying to sell linear power supplies.

I don't own a Mini and I don't plan to buy one.

If you want more info, go to audiocircle and read the posts from people that have compared the 2010 Mini and 2009 Mini.

Thank you for posting your comments about the 2010 Mini, I (and I'm sure this goes for other people reading the thread as well) appreciate the opportunity to be able to do more well-rounded research and comparisons.

Bare in mind, the 2010 Mac Mini compared on the Acircle thread was decked out with all kinds of modifications and specialty software. The people who compared stock to stock heard no difference or a small difference.

Glory-

Mintzar can't think of any reason that putting the supply internally in the Mini would make it better because he's trying to sell external linears.;-)

Thanks Glory. 813, I'm not sure why you're trying to pick a fight. I've been respectful in answering your accusations here and on CA forum and I'm trying to be as informative as possible in doing so. If you read my initial post I didn't originally intend on selling these supplies and I make very little money doing so. I am doing it to help people have better sound, since it's so difficult to find these days.

Since you don't own a Mac Mini and aren't interested in one it appears that you are making trouble for trouble's sake. I would appreciate it if you stopped doing so and began posting positively to what was a very useful and informative thread. Or don't post at all.
