Simplest Linear PSU?

Not sure how much "miniaturized SMD and semiconductor nonsense" you're willing to tolerate, but I had Teradak custom build an 18V 2A LPS for my E.A.T. E-Glo Petit and it has worked flawlessly and was very affordable. Highly recommended.

Do you have a particular price range? I use the Fidelizer Nikola II LPS with my Pro-Ject RS2T CD Transport and it’s a wonderful pairing. There are folks who are happy with the LTA (Linear Tube Audio) LPS. Plixir and Farad are well regarded op.

Here’s a review of multiple LPSs.

i would concur that teradak in china builds excellent, low cost lps's.... not blingy, but quiet, clean reliable dc power...

Thanks. Teradak looks interesting. I’ve found that, being able to upgrade every component around a transformer can yield better results than a great transformer with a lot of junk around it.

I read the audiobacon article a while back, but almost every brand he mentioned had stopped producing during covid. Maybe those brands are back in action.
