Linear Power Supply Recommendations!

I will see if i can did up the information been a few years since i looked at them. 

one thing to note the lab rated equipment has to meet very hi standards, standards that are not required for most equipment in the audio world, The ones i was looking at are the ones they use in the Calibration lab on the Navy repair facility i work at. I'll see if i can get a hold of the guy in the lab to get the brand. 

You might want to send Teddy Pardo an email and see what they have. I bought one of their LPS’s for my Node and it works great.  The sound is noticeably better and there is no background noise at all.

Thanks @glennewdick for any additional information you can share.  It's not that I believe there are no possible sonic benefits to an "audiophile" LPS.  I do believe you can be an audiophile at any price level, though, and the most appropriate LPS for a $1000 DAC may not be so for a $50,000 one, and vice versa.

Is this how a PS Audio power plant works plus the DC to AC conversion? I have a PP3 for my preamp  dac and steamer.

Not quite, PS Audio power plant essentially a AC regenerators that create a clean and stable power supply for your audio equipment. Here is the simplified explanation on how PSA power plant works,

1. AC to DC Conversion

• The incoming AC power from your wall outlet is first converted into DC (direct current).

• This step removes noise and fluctuations present in the incoming AC signal, which can degrade the performance of sensitive audio equipment.

2. DC to AC Regeneration

• The Power Plant then regenerates a new, pure AC waveform from the DC power.

• This regenerated AC is low in distortion, stable in frequency, and free of noise and voltage fluctuations.

• It essentially acts like a high-quality, local power generator for your audio system.

3. Voltage Regulation

• The regenerated AC is precisely regulated to maintain a consistent voltage level.

• This prevents your equipment from being affected by voltage sags, surges, or other irregularities from the power grid.

4. Additional Benefits

• Low Impedance Power Delivery: The Power Plant provides a low-impedance source of power, which helps your connected equipment perform optimally, especially during dynamic peaks.

• Protection: It offers surge and over-voltage protection, safeguarding your audio gear from potential damage.

By using the PP3 for your preamp, DAC, and streamer, you’re ensuring that these components receive clean, stable power, which can improve sound quality by reducing noise, enhancing dynamics, and improving clarity.

A linear power supply with a DC output is a type of power supply that converts AC (alternating current) from the wall outlet into clean and stable DC (direct current) power. This type of power supply is often preferred for sensitive electronics like audio equipment because it provides a low-noise power source.
