are the Sikora motors BLDC or AC synchronous?
if they are AC synchronous it means that the DC power is then converted to AC, as it was happening with my old Phoenix Eagle power supply and Hirst motors.
if they are BLDC how the speed is being controlled?
When are audiophiles going to realize they are paying exorbitant prices for LPS units that are not the equal of a good HP or Agilent industrial power supply?
Oversized, good sounding transformers, chokes, low noise rectification, good sounding capacitors and resistors, good sounding connectors and very importantly - wire is what makes a great sounding audio supply. Lab equipment understandably pays no attention to any of these and instead offers useless flexibility, programmability and a bullet proof design. Neither one is a good substitute for the other.

The degree of relevance depends upon the type of motor. A brushed DC motor is as sensitive to the raw dc supply as any other audio component. Brushless DC (BLDC) or AC motors may use class D amps and dc:dc converters in their control circuits. A great linear power supply cannot be of much help in such cases. Impossible to generalise.
Are you still using this motor Jürgen ? Don’t worry i won’t take a NO as a bad judgment of the product, i know you change equipment like a playboy changes women

Hi Lagonda,
this is a completely different project with different Anaheim motors than those of SOTA and different amplifiers. I will present it shortly with details.

i had the chance to compare AC synchronous and BLDC Motors Driven by Class D and High Biased Class AB amplifiers with linear and switching PSU and the linear PSU was always making a noticeable improvement.
In detail when I got the Phoenix Engineering Eagle (class d amp) and Roadrunner (to drive the two Hurst Ac synchronous Motors)- it came with a quality switching PSU. The Keces P8 made a great improvement.
later with the BLDC motors, driven by Class D and Class Ab amp I could hear again the improvement between the class AB and Class D and always the further improvement when using the Keces P8

Interesting. Ironically, i did not test the Phoenix box with a linear supply and promptly let it go after the briefest attempt to use it. Perhaps what i was hearing was the result of the switcher.
