Here’s another feedback today for Nikola linear power supply. He’s a customer who bought Nikola from Elite Audio distributor.
I’m very happy with the Nikola Power Supply Unit which I bought at Elite Audio in Europe… It is truely amazing what it does while ‘only’ delivering 12 Volt… To be honest: as a scientist I never believed very much in power supplies but apparently there is a lot of noise and other stuff that influences the signal from the DAC. So the Elite guys persuaded me to do a trial for 30 days.
It was a very good decision! The sound is more clear and you hear much more details, even for my older ears. There is much more refinement and so many things I never heard. Even on albums which I have heard intensively more than a hundred times!!During the first impression I was a bit confused since the details were there as I described above but on the other hand: it was as if the music was a bit restricted. But this appears to be the effect of the burn-in of the PSU! After one day it was already gone and after two days the stage was better than I ever heard. I emailed Keetakawee and he answered that the burn-in takes up to 200 hours. So I had still some improvement ahead!! What I heard in the days that followed is that nearly every day the sound stage and the body of the music become broader and deeper. Of course this ends in a few weeks but the effect is phenomenal!
I’m thrilled by the clarity, the position of instruments and voices, the richness of the sound and the fine musical detail that I can now hear in my recordings: truly recommended!! Give it a trial..
