External Linear Power Supplies


Does anyone have any experience in comparing the following external linear power supplies:
SBooster (most expensive)
Small Green Computet
iFi Power Supplies (least expensive) ?

I am interested in effectiveness, and bang for the buck.

I would use one of these to Power a Chord Qutest, a SugarCube SC-2 and a Massdrop THX AAA Headphone amp.

Thanks.

I'm looking to upgrade the 18v power supply to my Pro-Ject streamer.
Up to approx $400. Smallish footprint.

Options so far:
Teddy Pardo MiniTeddy
MCRU LDA

Possibly:
Plixir Elementa DC?
Swagman?

Any ideas on this?

Have just paid for a Teddy Pardo MiniTeddy 18v power supply to my Pro-Ject Stream Box S2 Ultra.

Thanks for the question. Sorry for the delayed reply.

The one review I had found that used a separate power supply for a Pro-Ject Stream Box S2 Ultra streamer observed no improvement. I reread that review a long time later, and they used the Project Battery power supply.

 

The Teddy Pardo MiniTeddy is brilliant. Run it with a Mad Scientist Black Magic Ultra power cable, an SR Orange fuse, with Black Ravioli Pads underneath; I have a ’dead-silent’ system.

It’s good enough I’m now looking at a MiniTeddy for my wifi router.

@jerrybj thanks for your reply. I am using a Swagman Labs SE 18V power supply with my Pro-Ject Tubebox DS phono preamp, and it is excellent.  Based on general positive reviews on forums, I just bought a Teddy Pardo Dual 5V/3A supply to power both my Chord Qutest DAC and my Bluesound Node N130.  I have not installed the DC connection on the Node yet, but connected to the Qutest and with only 50 hours on it, the Pardo power supply is leaps and bounds better than the stock Chord switching supply.  It is not even close, call me impressed.  I am using a PC I built from Furutech parts with Pardo supply, fwiw.
