I learned that lesson long ago

from Frank Alstine. When I was a teenager, I boosted the power supply of an Audire power amp by a factor of four with an external box like you found with the Double Dyna 400. Dynamics and transparency both benefited.

Today, each VTL amp has a 250 joule power supply (your stereo amp of identical power has 380) supplied by a 20A dedicated line through nine gauge shielded cords. The preamp has a larger power supply at 38 joules than many 100 watt amplifiers!

Not interested in multi-rail designs especially switchers. ;)
