The first regulator is close to the mains supply, its job is to take the incoming mains and convert it into a low(ish) noise DC supply, and to isolate the mess that is our household power lines from what follows. We don’t ask our regulators to be two faced, we split the two functions into two separate regulators and put them both where they can do the best job. To ask a single regulator to perform both tasks means that it can not do either as well as it could. The load will be asking constantly varying current, and the job of the regulator will be to ignore the varying load and to supply a rock steady voltage that ignores the changing load. In the other direction you have the device you are supplying power to. From one direction you have the mains supply, with the ever increasing noise, distortion and random variation that exists on our household mains supply. Likewise a good voltage regulator is required to look in both directions at once. Who was the god of gateways, and was a two faced god looking in both directions. When thinking of regulation, it’s worth remembering the Roman god Janus. The rational behind our linear power supplies………………………… The power supplies are made to suit your country, 100V, 120V, 230V and come supplied with a power cord as standard with the appropriate plug on UK, EU, USA, AUS etc. If your turntable is powered by a wall wart power brick pictured below we can supply our regulated design instead. We have 2 designs on offer, the entry level design which is easily better than the stock supplied power supply and our higher specification power supply which uses kimber kable and oyaide gold plated dc plug and comes fitted with a furutech iec inlet and AMR gold plated fuse.īoth power supplys are based on our award winning two case design details behind the design are below, if you want the best possible performance from your turntable these power supplies are a must. We have tested these extensively and the regulated design does indeed improve the sound. MCRU have now turned our attention to the humble turntable and offer a regulated linear power supply for the Thorens range of turntables that are powered by a smps. Cheap and noisy the SMPS does nothing for sound quality and can actually be detrimental to your hifi system sound quality, proven by customer feedback. They provide a constant output voltage to replace the switch mode power supply bundled with most electronics. MCRU and Longdog Audio have sold 100’s of our specially developed fully regulated linear power supplies. If your turntable is powered by as small wall wart power brick outputting DC voltage then this power supply will make the sound quality better.
