Default Question about the astrodyne power supply

Hi. in my room i have a lot of electric devices and only one socket.
so i plug all my devices,including the ultra stack to that one socket.

now...i know that this is not optimal(to say the least) electric setup for great sound. i currently use the supplied "wall wart" and i want to know if it's worth to get the astrodyne. i afraid that it wouldnt be effiecent in my setup.
thx!

Howdy Plonter,

Even in that less-than-ideal electrical set-up, i'd hazard to guess you'd still plainly hear the audio improvements offered by the Astrodyne PS's significantly more robust/'quicker' current delivery and lower voltage ripple artifacts versus the stock ps.

Cheers,
Jorge

OK...finally got my two astrodynes for my ultra micro stack.
just a quick question though, should i disconnect the psu's when not in use...?
or can i leave them plugged all the time?

thx!
