Almost all high-fidelity gear is powered from a wall socket. Sometimes the mains power goes directly into the unit. Sometimes an external transformer/rectifier system is used (the term “wall wart” is applied rather dismissively, and perhaps unfairly, for some of them). Since the performance of audio equipment is often tied to the quality of the power supply, their performance can be improved with an upgraded power supply. With some brands of equipment, specific provision is made for this with their internal power handling systems able to be bypassed and replaced with an external system.
These power supplies can range from upgraded “wall warts” to truly high-end audiophile components costing thousands of dollars.
At Addicted To Audio we carry a wide range of upgraded and replacement power supplies for some of the finest specialist brands in the world, such as Bryston, MOON by Simaudio, Naim Audio, Burson Audio, Schiit Audio and iFi audio. You may not be familiar with some of those brands, but they’ve got a quality experience in store for your ears.
There are two great ways to buy power supplies. The best way for most people is at a quality retail outlet in your city. That way you can have a listen, try one out, see whether it feels like a good “fit” for your equipment. But if you’re confident that you already know what you want, consider purchasing your power supply direct from us at Addicted To Audio. We are an authorised New Zealand reseller for all our products. We provide full service and after sales support. And we ship fast.
