How about a Mac Mini Power Supply Tour?

I can have one ready to go out to maybe 4-6 people in a week.

This way you can make up your own mind with your system.

Hopefully you will post your thoughts here.

I will formally kick this off with a post in my circle.

I'm still staying open minded as I haven't hear it but I will say that I don't hear any difference when I plug my Mini into the wall or into a PLC.  I'm still trying to wrap my head around how the computer really is going to to be affected enough to make a difference sonically.   :dunno:

If anyone cares to explain whey they think so, I'm all ears.

I'm not nearly as interested in WHY as I am in IF.  I already know that I can hear a difference plugging the Mac Mini into my power conditioner vs. the wall.  I'd like to know about the comparison referred to by Bigfish.

How do you get in on this Boulder Tour?

I use a mastech linear power supply with my macbook pro there is a noticeable improvement in the sound its not a huge difference but its a very appreciable improvement, my computer even runs a little bit faster and the graphics look a little better seriously. I'm planning on getting a mac mini which I'm also going to run with a linear power supply and I'm going to put an SSD drive in it as well.

I'm dumb as a bag of rocks when it comes to computers, but thought I read that the new Mini has a built in power supply.  so:

1. Would/does that make it sound worse?

2. Does that limit/eliminate what improvements can be made to the power supply?
