Reed Muse 3C turntable

You could try it both ways, but I would start with placing the bypass capacitance after the batteries and before the voltage regulator, if for no other reason than the fact that the relatively huge capacitance can play havoc with the output of a VR.

Okay; I've ordered two of them and will try it both ways.
Thanks again.

$20k and it comes with a crap wall wart? And a user here buys a battery and charger for $100 and improves it from unlistenable to useable. I don’t get it. Poor design and marketing to release it like that.

lewm,
I’ve added one 35v electrolytics (15,000UF) to the input terminals of the voltage regulator. (I’d have to make an extension to get them to reach and attach to the battery terminals).
I can report a very subtle benefit in the current setup. The presentation doesn’t really ’sound’ better but it ’feels’ better. What I mean is that your brain seems to do a little less work and your body seems to relax a little bit more; the music and the flow of the music just makes more intuitive sense (requiring less mental effort) with the electrolytic in place. Perhaps the cap is removing information that is above 20khz that we can’t hear but that our bodies are (negatively) responding to nonetheless. I’m not an engineer or a doctor so I’m really out of my depth here.
Having said this, I have to say that the effect is very subtle. It’s basically an extension of what you might experience when moving to a battery or tubed power supply for your table.

Hi exlibris,
I am curious about the performance of the Reed turntables and found your post.
With respect to power supply, perhaps you might want to consider the super-capacitor solution offered by Vinnie Rossi, which seems like a very nice alternative to batteries. You can have a look at http://www.vinnierossi.com/mini/  You will be the judge of the cost and whether it's worth it. But I understand that you are looking to squeeze every bit of sound quality our of the Reed turntable.
