Any other builders that can comment on performance of the power supply ? I am curious how your SB Touch sounds with the PSU.
I prefer comments on 5V builds 🙂

Here are the prices from Toroidy.pl:
TS20VA PRI:230V SEC: 1x8V (or 2x8V)
Audio grade: 18,90 EUR / pc
Outer diameter: 63mm / 29mm
Standard with mounting kit: 13,50 EUR / pc
Outer diameter: 58mm / 28mm
Mounting kit adds ~5mm height.
Incase anyone is interested.. 🙂

Another sound quality report on the main system: powering the Bel Canto U link to a subbu v3 dac. Two stage push pull 6l6 monoblocks and altec a7's, all modded (don't ask).
I think I can hear that there are two ice cubes tinkling in the glass on Clifford Jordan's Live at Ethel's...
In short everything is more resolved. Thanks again.

Good. No other builders that are using the PSU and can give some comment ? I know how many PCBs and Rcore transformers I have sent 🙂
Last boards have been sold today. Some missing shipments have been corrected and I only have a few left for my own use. Thanks for the GB, I hope you all will be satisfied with the results. It is a little bit disappointing only a few have given comments on quality. It is taking and giving IMO but the sun is shining so I won't loose the vibe 😉
New project in the works...

Don't worry J-P, I'm sure there will be more comments in quality. I suspect that there are many like me that have started, but not yet finished this particular project. We will get there.

J-P, considering that my boards came to India via Austin TX, it's going to take a little longer than most for me to source the parts and get it up and running. I'm working on it now.
I am on the way of my SBT build will try it with BBB board. It takes a bit of time now a days, but I will report as soon as I got it built 🙂
Thanks Jean-Paul for a smooth group buy.
I had to source parts from a couple of different suppliers, but now I'm building.
But now it looks like my chassis is a tight fit - heat sink will probably slightly touch my chassis - will this be ok or...trouble ?

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

Thanks for the feedback Jean-Paul,
I did not have thermal paste but I had a thermal pad, so I guess that insulates the regulator chip from the heat sink. To be on the safe side I also placed a sheet of Nomex between the heatsink and chassi.
SBT PSU is up and running now, first impression is an increase in microdetails, and more depth in the music.

Yes 😉
BTW I see you solder first and cut excess lead wire off later. This is less good than cutting first and solder later. You put mechanical stress on joints which is not optimal for reliability. Makes sense when you think about it, costs nothing and makes stuff better. Make the switch !
