PSU upgrade for TW AC 1

Am contemplating an upgrade to the Black Night PSU and motor controller for my TW AC1. Would love to hear from A'goners who have either done the upgrade or have some experience of it .Unfortunately a demo in my system is not possible.The rest of my vinyl chain : Durand Talea tonearm with a Lyra Titan i, Nagra VPS phono stage etc
Would appreciate any comments/adevise
Cheers

I was the first to get Black Night Power supply.It was set up by Jeff and Thomas im very happy its very quiet,better bass, speed,more open great upgrade.I also got Black Night feet which made image more solid and also helped the bass.Wonderful table with wonderful service as well.

I just raised this issue with the UK importer, who is a very reliable source of information. He said the UK price of the Black Knight PSU was about £3000 and felt the improvement, which there would certainly be, was doubtful against the cost. This was in the context of a Raven one, not an AC.
Incidentally, I found a big improvement using a Lessloss DPFC power cord with the Raven one PSU. I was quite suprised about that. I thought a turntable PSU would be immune to the benefits of a power cord.

Have been quoted SGD 10800 for the whole package less something for trade in for the AC 1 PSU and Motor ie approx USD 6.5 to 7k net.
