Sorry for not replying sooner, but it seems others have taken up the slack. Here is another company: https://uptoneaudio.com/products/ultracap-lps-1-2 Bob |

Based on input here, I bought a Signature Edition Swagman LPS for my Project Tube Box DS phono preamp to replace the stock SPS. I agree with lowrider, the Swagman is excellent. I had tried another Chinese built LPS with the Project that I borrowed, and found that sounded bass heavy and dull, so went back to the stock power supply which was tipped up a bit from neutral, but it has good drive. The Swagman takes the Project and my enjoyment to and entirely different place, everything is better. Ridiculously better. A Very good deal in terms of the build quality and performance. Can’t speak to the stock model, but the Signature Edition is great. I previously replaced the SPS on my Arcam irDAC with an MCRUS LPS with great success. I looked at the MCRUS supply for the Project preamp but souped up versions of that are twice as expensive as the upgraded Swagman, so thought I would try it. Not disappointed. Perhaps not surprisingly, getting the Project SPS out of my power strip makes the MCRUS/Arcam DAC sound better too. I am using a Shunyata Venom PS8 power strip, Venom HC supply cable and Venom Defender power conditioner, and while this is extremely clean sounding, I am certain the isolation is not as significant as more sustainable conditioners. I have all sources plugged into the Venom, amp and sub are plugged directly to wall. Anyway, plus two for replacing stock SPS with aftermarket LPS. |
