On a different note, could anyone point me to the dimensions of the Pearl 3 boards? I'm trying to lay out my "ultimate preamp" in a Pesante 2U case, and the illustration in the build guide makes it look bigger than the entire BA2018 Line Stage I'm using. Thanks.
Yes, you could run BA2018 and Pearl off Pearl 3 raw PSU. But remember that BA2018 needs to be fed with regulated voltage, so you'll need something to regulate for the BA2018, but that is straightforward.
ACN uses a single voltage, so just use it's wall-wart.

For grins I have assembled on perf board a LM7815 and a Sparcos 7815 3 legged supplies.
Both supplies are operated into a breadboard of the P3 input stage.
The raw supply for both is a TRIAD 18volt DC wall wart. See the attached AP scope and FFT plots.
The LM7815 regulator is much cleaner.
Thanks DT
Orange is the LM7815 regulator.
