Good thread.  I just received my 2 Jerome PS.  Stupid question:  What converter cable to I need to connect to the DIN cable of the Jerome PS?

The existing DIN connector is cut off and the correctly sized SB Touch connector (purchased separately) is soldered on.  At least that is what Bolder does.

Wow.  Thanks for the quick replies, gents.  I will contact Mr. Bolder to see what can be done.

James, I'm slowly getting into the world of hi-rez music and want to get the best out of the SB Touch for now.  I don't mind doing one improvement at a time.  Thanks again for your help.

I just ordered the Jerome and will be sending it to Wayne after I get it.  That way I'll have 3 upgraded power supplies to try and I'll use two of them on my HDMI audio de-embedders.

Just got my modded Jerome back (in record time, I should add) and there is an immediately noticeable difference: greater clarity and image separation. This in a background listening system consisting of a Touch with an Audioengine N22 amp and P4 speakers. Using a Pangea AC14SE on the Jerome. Will post a followup after it breaks in.

I've had my updated Jerome for about 11 days know.   I let it burn in for about a week before giving it a listen.    There's more resolution in the treble and the bass is better than the original mod.  Well worth the $50 cost of admission.  Wayne was super quick with the turn around.  USPS handed it to him on a Monday, finished and out the door on Tuesday and back in my office system on Thursday.

I implemented toroidal low noise transformed then this http://www.ebay.com/itm/5-Amps-Voltage-Regulator-Module-Out-1-5-32V-Based-LM338-/130634878830?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1e6a720f6e followed by this low noise module http://www.ebay.com/itm/130621075301?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
 And I am very happy with Touch beeing more relaxed in sound - I would not call difference remarkable, but noticeable. Any way great value for money.
