“This thing took my phono preamp and gave it the Lamborghini treatment. It has a life on Easy Street now, and sounds even better than it did before. I am convinced that this is one of the best things I have done for my system.”

“While improving sound quality, it also created a new problem in my system, never had before: ground loop. I bought this to use with a hagerman trumpet. The original power supply is not grounded, so no problem with that one, but once I've plugged the sbooster the ground loop sound started right away. I've tried to connect it to a different outlet on a different breaker and at that point no more ground loop, but the sbooster can't be used with an extension cord, so after a long back and forth email with the producer I've decided to return it. Will definitely try it again when I move, one day. Great product and customer service from Sbooster.”

“Wonderful service and excellent products! I purchased two SBooster 16 Volt AC power supplies, to power two Schiit Mani 2 phono stages. Yes, two Mani 2s, as I run dual mono! The SBooster psu contributes significantly towards a sense of hightaned musical pleasure! Thank you! Blessings... Kavi.”

“I purchased this along with a PD Creative upgrade board for a Bluesound node n130. The difference is revelatory . I cannot more highly recommend this upgrade for those of you with a bluesound node. The PD creative board will set you back 110 dollars shipped from Poland. Add the cost of this power supply and it is the best 550 dollar upgrade I have made to my system. You will be astonished. FYI my improvement was made on the digital side as I bypass my node dac. Buy it.”

“I have one of these for my Roon Nucleus and just decided to upgrade the DAC power supply too (Chord Qutest). All I can say is WOW!!!”

“This was purchased to replace the stock wall wart power supply that came with my Rega Planar 8/Ania MC. Sbooster recommends 200 hours of continuous power before the BOTW AC comes into its own. I would agree with that recommendation. I cannot say that connecting this device was an “OMG” moment in terms of change/improvement. What I have noticed over time (200+ hours) is a reduction of noise, or stated another way, blacker backgrounds. In addition, pitch definition in the bass has improved as well. Fit and finish is very good. Although stated that you can place this power supply in close proximity to your turntable the accompanying high quality shielded output cable is long enough to place the power supply several feet away from your turntable.”
