Given the apparent sensitivity to the power supply that the Tbolt
exhibits, has anyone put any effort into optimizing the power supply
so as to minimize that set of effects?
ie: what is the best power supply to use to ensure maximum accuracy
for the Tbolt? A couple of linear supplies? Any particular switcher?
