No more big power supplies for preamps

Just edited my system page to show my pre-amp power supply as the separate unit it truly is. Symphonic Line is still making their pre-amps with separate power supply units in 2013, and they remain brawny (although for some reason not quite as brawny today as my rebuilt one!).

Big music through big speakers takes big power supplies and reserves. Why wait until the signal hits the power amp before applying the juice?

What happened are they expired or outsourced to China?

For what it does, how big does it really need to be?

It needs to be huge and robust to make a true SOTA tubed preamp. No getting around it. Large tranny, chokes etc......... A must!

That Furman sounds like a great unit.
I think everyone would be amazed at the improvement in their systems, don't you.
