Regenerated power supply
Top of the range audiophile phono amplifiers
create their own power supplies off the mains, like
a mains regenerator. This is the starting point for
any good phono stage because without this, it will
struggle to amplify the signal and not add noise.
The super quiet ZEN Phono is dedicated to this
cause. It creates a 1.2MHz power supply (20,000x
mains frequency of 60Hz). Here, a 10uF filtering
capacitor equals 200,000uF at lower frequency. The
result? VERY large filtering, as per classic LC filtering
in tube amplifiers. Located on its own ‘island’ so no
surrounding noise pollution. It outputs super clean
+/- 12V DC.
