Overview
The PS Audio Analog High Current Power
Supply is designed to enhance the sonic
performance of the PCA-2 preamplifier as
well as other PS Audio accessories.
The Analog High Current Power Supply
is designed to improve upon conventional
design by housing a large power supply in
an external chassis. By locating the power
supply in an external chassis interference
between it and sensitive circuity of the PCA-
2 is minimized.
The Analog HCPS uses a huge toroidal
transformer coupled to 75,000 µf of storage
capacity. The Analog HCPS is designed to
readily deliver massive amounts of clean
current when the PCA-2 requires it.
