Hi guys.

with 6x smps 600 from cresnet.

Apart some technical differences that would escape my capacity, maybe some of the effect is due to the better, bigger caps that Cresnet is using as output.
Anyway, I no longer listen to stock SMPS: I add extra capacitance with better caps, big cans when possible, from the beginning and I recommend this mod. I don't have yet done the experiment of finding the diminishing returns curve.
Best wishes,

So you changed from 2 1200 Hypex (eur180 each) to 6 cresnet (eur 168 each)?
Wonder how 6 1200 Hypex would sound... ?
Cresent's smps is $75 USD ~ 70 EURO. For 6 it's only slightly more expensive than two Hypex smps1200's. Seems like a reasonable upgrade to me.
Thanks for the info back, it's credible and very helpful to all FO builders, have to try it someday.
Please reward us with some images, L.C.
Where did you bye them?
And what price?
Thizzgiant says $75, but here it is another price:
DPS-600/UR
i found cresnet in this thread and asked some members here before i buy and they were happy too with only two channels.
the price is 75$ and i think LC should test them because at this price i think it's a bargain.
sorry noway to take a picture inside the speaker but i can add a few pictures from when i was building the speakers with the hypex.

caps make a difference but they must measure good.
i have tried more cheap smps and they sound bad and measure bad.
Hi Back
Thanks for the interesting feedback on what could be a better VFM SMPS route.
Just to make sure I understand correctly : did you find the sound of 1 Cresnet better than 1 Hypex, or was it 2 Hypex against 6 Cresnet?
Many thanks
Claude

Thanks Back for your kind reply
I didn't know someone already compared 1 to 1 Hypex vs Cresnet with FO 1.4, any link perhaps?
Many thanks

i believe he is following the thread so he can write a few words if he likes.
i think it was with F.O 1.2 but the point is the same.
