Switching Power Supply Comparison Using the Flat Moving Coil Preamp
I made some comparative FFTs of the Meanwell P25A, Meanwell GP25A and the TDK CUT-35 to a linear benchtop supply.
The differences, with one exception, were underwhelming...
The load was the Flat Moving Coil Preamp with the gain set at 61.5 dB.
The source impedance was the internal 10Ω termination.
The Ein is around -140 dBu in all cases. (20-20 kHz measurement BW).
The ambient hum field of the room was nulled in all measurements by positioning the board.
The FFT is the Left and Right Outputs with the display open to 48 kHz. (FS=96K 24B FFT 65Kpt 5 sample avg.)
The Meanwell P25A is quieter when the 5V supply is preloaded. It is not loaded in this measurement.
The Meanwell GP25A, which replaces the original, is a very electrically noisy supply and no amount of preloading helps.
The GP25A's spread spectrum "hump" above 20 kHz pokes out of the noise floor.

TDK CUT35
Meanwell GP25A ("Green Power")
