UpTone JS-2 Power Supply Listening Impressions


Recommended Posts

I'm no expert, far from it, but IMHO clean power equates to less noise.

 

After extensive listening last night with the 2012 Mac Mini in place, I am very very pleased with the sound. Even compared to my aural memory of the battery powered Mac Mini, I'm hearing more detail and articulation, but natural sounding, not bright, edgy or glaring at all. Separation is better as well. I have a SET amp, tubed pre and tubed DAC, yet the detail I'm hearing surpasses any of my prior setups, including my memory of prior SS equipment.

 

How is it performing now that you had it for a few months? I'm thinking of purchasing one for my dedicated silent music server.

Guess this means you're still happy. :-).

 

You bet! Sounds even better after a short burn in phase.

I successfully tested the installation of resonance control devices under the JS-2.
