Amplifier Rail Voltage Regulator

Good PSRR is good to have, of course, but when you clip (and you will often, at any reasonable volume level and listening to non compressed music) PSRR becomes ZERO, as in 100% of ripple appears modulating waveform peaks.

You can minimize this, either playing at a gentle volume (say, 10% average vs. RMS rating) or listening to highly compressed music.

If you clip and PSRR goes to zero, you wont be hearing it - it will be masked by the loud music I think.

However, I like to think of clipping as a 'non-normal' condition. If you are clipping a lot, you should get higher efficiency speakers, or a more powerful amp.

But, as always, be mindful of the damage loud sounds can do to your ears!
