This power supply is compatible with and designed for Pro-Ject electronics powered by 18v DC.
SBooster Botw 18vDC Linear Power Supply: Enclosure
The power supply comes in the form of a PVC block with a somewhat industrial look. Its dimensions are already imposing for its function, although it remains easy to accommodate. Its weight of nearly 2 kg speaks volumes about the quality of manufacturing.
At the back, you will find the mains cable input in IEC 14 format. The power supply is delivered with a standard cord, but SBooster strongly encourages upgrading with a higher quality mains cable.
On the front, there is a 95 cm long shielded cable. The SBooster comes with 4 adapters allowing connection to 98% of products on the market.
Next to the output, a green LED indicates power on. A small switch allows adjusting the brightness of this LED.
SBooster Botw 18vDC Linear Power Supply: Technology
The SBooster 18v DC power supply provides a perfectly stable and silent current. The current purification starts immediately upon entering the power supply. A two-stage mains filter and a ground choke eliminate high-frequency pollution before the current reaches the transformer. The transformer is a custom-made audio quality transformer with electrostatic shielding. It is completely oversized and offers 50 vA.
This transformer is also magnetically shielded to avoid radiating onto any nearby components or cables. It is paired with high-quality polypropylene film capacitors, fast diodes, and precision regulators.
The electronic design of the SBooster 18v DC power supply is innovative. It can provide 50% more energy to the used electronics while consuming up to 35% less energy than the original power supply.
This power supply always provides enough "clean" power to the audio device to ensure stable and continuous performance of components and circuits to achieve the best possible audio performance.
SBooster Botw 18vDC Linear Power Supply: Tests
As soon as it is connected to the device, the power supply contribution is immediately noticeable!
The combination of power and precision allows for a much more natural reproduction, a better soundstage, as well as better transparency while offering maximum detail and accuracy.
The improvement on a phono preamp or a DAC is striking and undeniable. The SBooster 18v DC power supply removes a veil from the music while offering an extra dose of life and realism.
Highly recommended!
