Phono Tests

Phono preamp tests using Right Mark Audio Analyzer (RMAA). Onkyo P-308 47K MM, Echo2 w/ RIAA DSP, and iFI iPhono

After the disappointing noise floor results of the iFI iPhono I decided to investigate the power supply. Here I compare the incoming mains AC power, the iFI power supply and an alternative 9V PSU, the Boss PSU-120T. Below you’ll see that some of the tests are repeated with different bandwidths so there’s clarity between low and wide bandwidth noise.
