It just helps to get the best out of a productThanks for the review. Doesn’t plugging it into a very expensive power supply skew the review?

technically by doing what they have done it takes out any potential changes in the noise from the power to start with. So each component has a more 'standard' supply of 'clean' power. Better baseline for comparisons to be drawn.Nah that’s not a good reason. A product should be reviewed on its own merits not potentially boosted by the use of another product.

I don't have a fancy power supply either though.

No I haven’t checked but is this power supply used with all review samples?
Have to agree: reviews should be undertaken under real-world conditions. It's not as if the UK has a dirty, third-world style energy network anyway.Thanks Ed but still think it shouldn’t be done.
Any specific reason @Ed Selley for giving the audio only an '8' which is below par with your particular rating preferences as most of the stuff ends up being '9' at least in the audio department it being the primary objective for your review gear.

You've missed my point. Nevermind.The problem is there is no such thing. Your real-world conditions will be completely different to Ed’s, mine or any other forum member. His review, his system, his point of view, it’s that simple.
@Ed Selley, as always an interesting and entertaining write up - thanks. Im looking for an amp able to drive ATC SCM40s, which I bought after reading your review on the forums, and then demoed. As the 40s are ‘difficult’ to drive, would the Leema be up to it, or would the Aethos be more suitable with its higher power rating?
