Why not? The speed consistency and its attendant pace, rhythm, etc. are part of what impressed me so much about the DPS/Ayre setup.

Maybe you auditioned without and the Ayre unit didn't justify the price?

IME, a good AC power supply is a major upgrade for any AC synchronous motor-driven belt-drive. Save your shekels and eventually buy the Ayre PS, is my advice. You will appreciate it even more, having gotten accustomed to the sound of your tt without it.

I would like to get the Ayre PS but I don't think that my current DPS2 PS can be traded in for it - Different distributors...

BTW, after having the DPS, I now know how good the Nottingham Hyperspace is now. Yes, the DPS is better but you wouldn't notice the difference if you don't AB both.

Add a good motor controller to the Hyperspace, and you will also experience a major epiphany. I used a Walker Audio MC on mine and was quite surprised and amazed at what it does; I had been very skeptical prior to hearing the difference in my own system.
