Hi, one more phono stage post sorry! Can someone please explain the sonic benefits to adding an outboard “linear power supply” box for a phono stage, instead of just using the regular old AC/DC converter that the phono stage comes with? I’m referring to something like this, which would be a standalone unit just for powering the phono stage instead of using the internal, ‘one box’ stock option

How would the sound quality improve? Is it a super noticeable difference?
Thanks!!
Not if they’re trying to hit a low price point
I have doubts
A lot of higher end products do include a LPS.
