The illusion of audio upgrade (especially in infancy territory)

[davide256]

LPS's improve clarity... which means if you have a masked problem, you are more likely to hear it... which means you may find other changes are needed. The users unhappiness has nothing to do with musicality, more to do with  wanting a  "silver bullet".  Would agree that those new to the hobby tend to fixate on 1 component

vs recognizing that audio is a system of interacting components

True that most LPS improve clarity but not many LPS can retain or improve musicality. There's a good reason why I don't build LPS for budget like $300 but $500. Because I saw countless of LPS under $500 ended up sounding less musical than bundled switching adapter no matter what cable you put on.

A power supply  should have no effect on musicality... its the "water" required to make the "koolaid".  Of course if you are used to pretty nasty water, it may come

as quite a shock to you when you get clean water, how bad the brand of "koolaid" tastes that you have been drinking. Given that a decent LPS costs ~$200 and up

not sure how one could be included with a $300 solution.
