Sbooster BOTW MKII Linear Power Supply - 24V Rating

Sbooster BOTW MKII Linear Power Supply - 24V Rating

 

The Best of Two Worlds Power & Precision ECO MKII linear audio upgrade power supply (BOTW P&P ECO) is the successor of Sbooster's BOTW P&P ECO, which was introduced in the summer of 2015. The BOTW P&P ECO upgrade power supply combines power, precision and efficiency in a unique innovative manner and is the best choice for every audiophile.

With the BOTW P&P ECO audio upgrade, the purification of the current starts immediately there where the polluted current enters the upgrade. The dual-stage mains filter and an earth line choke clean the current from high-frequency pollution before the current reaches the transformer. The transformer is a custom-made audio grade transformer with electrostatic shielding and is magnetically shielded.

The electronic design is innovative: it gets 50% more output out of the used electronics and consumes even up to 35% less energy than a conventional design. The BOTW P&P ECO audio upgrade concept is so efficient that it consumes only a bit more energy than the standard supplied high efficient, but also highly polluting switch mode adapter. It costs you annually a couple of euro extra on your energy bill for a priceless sound experience.

Finally, at the end of the DC cable, the unique split current system has been placed. The power supply of the BOTW P&P ECO audio upgrade provides the split current system with continuous powerful and clean power, so the electronics can do their job profoundly, which is to buffer the power, so that the power supply becomes very fast, and to filter one last time the voltage and current before they enter the audio device.

This unique upgrade power supply with its large headroom delivers at all times sufficient clean power to the audio device to ensure a stable and continuous performance of the internal processes of the audio device in order to get the best performance out of the audio device.

This combination of power and precision results in “easy” music, a perfect soundstage and a natural detailed sound.

This Sbooster Power Supply is a great upgrade for your Rega turntable. Most Rega turntables have a 24V power supply so upgrading to the BOTW MKII 24V will further enhance the sound from your turntable.

Sbooster 24V for Rega Turntables

The Sbooster 24V Linear Power Supply is the perfect next-step upgrade for your Rega turntable and can bring your listening experience to new heights.

Tried and tested by Rega enthusiasts, the 24V Sbooster can offer enhanced vocal clarity, a more natural present soundstage and richer instrumentation. These are just some of the improvements heard by long-time Rega listeners.

Even more so, this opens up an entirely new upgrade path with improved power cables and fuses for the cable and Sbooster.

Here are some thoughts from the community!

"There was more fullness in the trumpet, the whole soundscape became a little more delicious and smooth in the cool way, and it was as if the musicians took a step further into the room and became more present. The strokes on the piano got a little more life and the overall impression became cleaner. As if the background was cleaned up a little."

"Without the Sbooster, it was as if there was a bit of harshness in the sound in some places in this track, and it disappeared with the Sbooster in place. The big drum got more depth and the music just became more relevant and maybe also more natural."

"If you like a thinner sound with special focus on the very high tones, and if you prefer this to fullness and presence in the sound, then you have to do this test yourself and find your own conclusion. Personally, I have no doubt: Sbooster is a definite plus for my taste!"

"We started with the excellent German Tumeter Till Bronner, and already here from the very first track we experienced a very clear and distinct, positive trend when we listened via Sbooster." "Without the Sbooster, it was as if there was a bit of harshness in the sound in some places in this track, and it disappeared with the Sbooster in place." Mikael Arendt Laursen
