Hey,
I am very comfortable using linear regulators, in fact, I can probably build a single linear PSU with my eyes closed. But I am fed up with having a big "iron ore" around. (I m fed up with recycling it from proj to proj, too)
Is a switching PSU truly bad as we say? I have been one to recommend against them, too. But it's been almost a decade. Some professionals use switching PSUs and Class-D amps.
So I decided to slap a switcher to my Szekeres amp to see if it is BAD.
It ain't bad at all. You all should hear it for yourself.
