PSU1 - Enigma

I have been intrigued by the Enigma PSU since its appearance in the product range, and put a loan of it onto the "to do" list.

I recently got in contact with JohnC, and made arrangements.

It landed yesterday morning.

More of that in a little bit.

With all the Covid-19 lockdown stuff going on, I like many folk, have had a fair bit of time on my hands, so part of that for me was tweaking my turntable setup and getting things really dialled in.

I have managed to get it performing at a hitherto unattainable level, and things are really singing.

So much so that most of my listening over the last couple of weeks has involved spinning my LPs, and I have found the sound both satisfying and rewarding.

Enter the PSU1 - Enigma.

I hadn't spun any records, so popped one onto the platter, and listened to an excerpt of "Inca Roads" by Frank Zappa and The Mothers of Invention, to refamiliarize myself with the way it sounded.

Part A of a simple A/B test.

I had the Enigma plugged in and ready to go, so left the record spinning while I unplugged the standard PSU-1 from my Reflex M phono preamp, and inserted the power plug coming from the Enigma.

To say that I've been bowled over would be putting it mildly.

It's gonna hurt when it goes back home

I to have a Reflex M and what you are saying is making me think about the Enigma now.

But I also have a Solo headphone amp and well you know can't have one with out the the other ( I know that's what I'll end up thinking if I just got it for the phono only) and as i have said on anther post I have been spending a lot on vinyl in the past mouth or so. 

I am waiting on 7 albums I've got on order.

BUT like someone said to me if you can't afford it ether save up or spend it on new music that's what you got your HiFi for (listening too)

Lots of love,
