Know before you buy
By replacing standard digital switching power supplies with a linear design, this unit eliminates high-frequency noise interference. This results in a lower noise floor, allowing you to hear finer details and greater dynamic range in your vinyl records.
This unit is specifically engineered for compatible Musical Surroundings phono stages. Please verify your specific model's power requirements to ensure it supports the +22.5V single supply or +/-11.25V split supply configurations provided by this device.
These high-quality components are chosen for their ability to deliver exceptionally clean, stable, and consistent voltage. By minimizing electrical fluctuations, they ensure your phono stage operates at its peak potential without the artifacts often introduced by cheaper power components.
While this unit is highly effective at removing noise caused by power supply interference, it is not a cure-all for ground loops or cable shielding issues. It is an excellent upgrade for cleaning up your power delivery, but ensure your turntable and phono stage are properly grounded as well.
Yes, the Musical Surroundings Linear Charging Power Supply is proudly made in America, reflecting high standards of build quality and component selection.
