Edit: A lot of manufacturers produce their own "improved" PS/controller as an upgrade path. I would imagine that this would be the path most folk would go - even if the performance of the GSP box outstripped the OEM one. For those who have already discovered GSP it would be a no-brainer. Whether this would be economic to produce is definitely not something I can answer . . .

If it improved on the separate power supply of my RP6 then I guess that would be of interest

Generally I can see why you could make a difference in getting the turntable electronics right. I'm currently enjoying my modified SL1210, is there anything you can do on that?

It's not to much of a biggie to change the belt on my Gyrodec occasionally also I already have the uprated power supply so Solo DE upgrade is more likely first and the Big Dac (depending on price ) next.

Various bits of GSP Kit ..well two so far, unless you count the cables that is.

As a Garrard devotee, unfortunately this wouldn't brighten up my listening. The Garrards, as many will know, use a rather large AC shaded pole motor. Now, a larger frequency stable clean 50Hz power supply - that would be interesting, but also attractive to relatively few of us.
So, I'm a "don't have the need" - as yet!
I can however see that a decent DC power supply without the hype would be a genuine upgrade for many, particularly if a matching DC motor were available. But, there are already others that have established such offerings, so there would be a marketing challenge.
