About the PS5 LPS
The Audio Alchemy PS-5 Linear Power Supply (LPS) is a dedicated external power supply unit designed to enhance the performance of compatible Audio Alchemy audio components. It replaces the standard small outboard transformer power supply with a more robust unit that delivers ±20 VDC for analog circuits and +12 VDC for digital circuits, featuring a total supply capacitance of 40,000 microfarads. The PS-5 improves dynamics, lowers the noise floor, and enhances detail in the audio signal by providing cleaner and more stable power. It is housed in a compact, well-constructed chassis measuring approximately 5.5" x 3.5" x 11.6" and weighing about 9 lbs. The unit connects via dual multipin connectors and is recommended to be left powered on continuously, with power control managed through the connected audio components. The PS-5 is compatible with Audio Alchemy's PPA-1 phono preamplifier and DDP-1 DAC/preamp/headphone amplifier, significantly improving sound quality by tightening voltage regulation and reducing noise, resulting in better bass control, blacker backgrounds, improved image focus, and enhanced three-dimensionality in the audio reproduction.
