Re: Savvy System Blog
I'm developing the idea that a dedicated power supply just isn't needed. I think you are letting your friendship get in the way of objectivity.

I'm not fixed in my idea, just have felt no need. It runs at 33 1/3 perfectly fine.
And surely a bmu would do the same job if you felt you needed it

I HAVE heard Nicks power supply on a 401 and the improvement (positive) was immediately noticeable.

If you want a "technical" answer then I'm sure Nick will give one when he looks in next.
But (DQ) as a "Doc" disciple you will know how important power supplies are to most items in the audio reproduction chain.

Re: Savvy System Blog
I used that weight as it gave a slight improvement in the general presentation. Everything gained a little solidity. It does nothing for warps.
I now use a VERY heavy brass puck/weight, (2kg!) which takes that solidity up a notch and also seems to make the quiet bits even quieter. I think this is down to coupling the record tightly to the mat AND killing any resonance in the vinyl.
