Claims Made<\/p>\n

\"Replacing the three main voltage regulators (7812, 7912 & 7505) with low noise, discrete versions developed from our Clarity HC circuits brings huge, instant improvements to all aspects of sound quality. More clarity and definition with extra detail and vastly improved dynamics are immediately noticeable, and with extended use you'll hear a whole load of subtle cues which also really enhance your listening experience.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThese regulators supply the servo & laser, and the 7805 supplies the main bulk of the +5v feeds inside the machine including the very important SAA7220 digital filter IC.\r\n<\/span>\r\nLow Noise, Discrete & Fast Response Voltage Regulator Circuits\r\n<\/span>High Current FET Output Devices\r\n<\/span>Very Low Noise Voltage References\r\n<\/span>Low Noise Error Amps with Very High PSRR (Power supply noise rejection)\r\n<\/span>Low Noise, Thin Film Precision Resistors\r\n<\/span>Separated Ground Planes for each regulator (3x) for superb noise rejection\"<\/span><\/pre>\n
“instant improvements to all aspects of sound quality” \u00a0really ??<\/span><\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
But nothing is changed to audio power supply..<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
On request we are gonna place back the original voltage regulators<\/p>\n
