Rega p9 power supply
Posted by: Joe Petrik on 29 January 2001
I didn't realize just how bad was the "Lingo effect" of Rega p9's PSU on my CD player until Bob Edwards prompted me to unplug it. But, sure enough, CD replay is better with the p9's PSU switched off, and even better yet with it unplugged altogether.
It's not an utter transformation, but CDs improve enough that I'm looking for a solution. A separate spur for the Naim equipment and another for the Rega PSU would be ideal, but they aren't options right now. That will have to wait until I get a house.
But what about the Conn 401/E, that power cable that Lingo users say removes or negates the power nasties the Lingo creates?
What's special about the cable that it renders the Lingo effect null and void? And would the cable work with the Rega PSU? I understand that it would need to be hardwired into the PSU, but other than that, is there anything to it?
