Best affordable Linear Power Stage
Looking into a purchase per the Title. The Allo Shanti looks to be a good piece, with favorable reviews and pricing. However I can’t find any place selling a new one and allo.com won’t load up. Is the company still around and has anyone tried one of these, I’m looking to use it with my LAIV uDDC. Appreciate any insights anyone can provide.
So received my LHY LPS for the uDDC. As advertised it’s like putting the uDDC on steroids, great product and result. I ordered this from Alvin at Vinshine Audio, this one is specifically noted on the site to be the preferred LPS for the LAIV uDDC unit. Very pleased and only took about 5 days to get here. For anyone with a LAIV uDDC I would highly recommend giving it a try. |
@toneranger58 from Alvin at Vinshine, the DDC version is 5V 2A vs 3A for the regular 5V LPS. Similarly 15V 2A for the micro DAC. |
"from Alvin at Vinshine, the DDC version is 5V 2A vs 3A for the regular 5V LPS. Similarly 15V 2A for the micro DAC." Not really sure that I get this and (maybe I’m just cynical...) have to admit I’m a bit skeptical on it as the 3A "standard" versions would work fine with the LAIV uDDC or DAC in the 5V or 15V respective "standard" versions of the LHY power supplies. On top of that a 3A version vs. a 2A version would be more "future proof" in terms of being able to be used in the future with different 5V or 15V components requiring the ability to deliver more power and would seemingly offer better value at the same price. |
@hdm doesn’t necessarily make sense to me either but that’s what he said. Usually the device asks for a certain amperage and the supply delivers it. Doesn’t matter the max potential output. But if Alvin says it’s better then I’m going with that. I don’t know, maybe they are just labeling it to make it clear to buyers of these LAiV products and they’re really the same thing as what they’ve always had. I can test it out with a meter once it gets here. |
