What customers say
Owners consistently praise the Tranquility Linear Power Supply for delivering profound sonic improvements. The core theme is clarity, with users reporting a significantly reduced noise floor, resulting in a blacker background. This allows musical details to emerge with startling precision. Reviewers frequently note enhanced soundstage depth and more natural musical presentation. The build quality reflects premium engineering, reinforcing the perception of a durable, high-end component. While the sonic benefits are substantial for dedicated audiophiles integrating this into high-resolution systems, the premium price remains a significant consideration for overall value. Satisfaction is high among those who experience the tangible audible improvements.
Know before you buy
Unlike standard switching power supplies that can introduce high-frequency noise into your signal path, the Tranquility LPS uses a high-voltage conditioned toroidal transformer. This design provides a cleaner, more stable current that significantly lowers your system's noise floor.
This unit is designed to improve the performance of sensitive audio components such as DACs, streamers, phono stages, and other low-voltage source equipment. By providing a quieter power foundation, you will notice improved resolution and a more expansive soundstage across your entire system.
Yes, the aircraft-grade aluminum chassis acts as a massive heatsink to dissipate heat efficiently, while the carbon fiber top is specifically chosen to dampen mechanical resonance. This combination ensures the internal components remain thermally stable and free from vibration-induced interference.
Absolutely. The Tranquility LPS includes a dedicated ground connection specifically designed to integrate with the Synergistic Research Active Ground Block, allowing you to further reduce system-wide noise.
These components are included to ensure the power supply performs at its peak right out of the box. The Purple fuse is engineered for high-conductivity and low-noise, while the 12awg Foundation cable ensures that the power delivery to the unit is robust and unrestricted.
With dimensions of 2.6 inches in height, 10 inches in width, and 6 inches in depth, the unit is compact enough to fit on most standard audio racks. Its 6.2-pound weight also provides a solid, stable footprint that resists movement.
