The DPS is a 12-volt linear power supply considered an upgrade over the stock wall wart power supply for a number of WTL turntables. I've seen nothing but praise for it on the internet, and it is definitely an improvement on the wall wart. I'm running a Fidelity Research cartridge, mounted on a Simplex, into a Softube phono preamp. It can sound great, magical oftentimes.
BUT . . .
I went to turn off the TT last night and I could hear a low level, yet clearly audible hiss. At first I though it was my phono stage, but when I turned off the DPS, that's when the noise floor went down. I had the preamp cranked up for louder-than-usual tunes last night, so that's why I hadn't noticed earlier.
Maybe I should try the Linear Audio Silent Switcher at the Store? It's only rated to 150 mA (@15 volts), but the DPS is only rated at 100 mA, so I guess it ought to work okay.
