Salas ps on the bottom(red lights on bottom) make this TPA buffalo III sound soooooooo analog. All most too reserved and mellow.

    The Salas Power Supplies are awesome! I have them on my tube (analog) output boards (in my DAC) and I am very happy I do.

    I may have to buy one for my Buffalo II (and maybe a Buffalo III). :)

    Glad you are liking it @bikerboy!

    Taken from a recent Audioholics reply regarding "Club Polk" and Polk speakers:
    "I'm yet to hear a Polk speaker that merits more than a sentence and 60 seconds discussion." :\
    My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....

    I have the legato powered by a pair of+15/-15v Salas bib supplies along with a +15/-15v ti ldo for the se output and a reflector powering the dac itself. So 7 ps just for that. Anyone who says the ESS 9018 chip sounds a certain way needs to play with these Salas power supplies.
