Background

The Wiim Ultra is originally equipped with a low-cost switch-mode power supply, similar to the power supplies that can be found in many low cost consumer products. This power supply has insufficient performance level in term of clean power delivery, resulting in mediocre overall sound quality. The upgrade offered here brings the Ultra into audiophile territory, both in analog and digital outputs.

Inside the MiniTeddy Power Supply

The MiniTeddy Special Edition, scheduled to start shipping on 09/2024, is a complete redesign of the standard edition. It is based around our new Tedinator discrete voltage regulator.
The Tedinator is a fully discrete design, based entirely on ultra low noise JFET transistors with no IC chips. It is the result of countless hours of development, testing and listening. Its design is inspired by the writings of great minds like Walt Jung and Nelson Pass.
With the new Tedinator and the new circuit around it, we were able to achieve impressive new levels of low noise, low output impedance and fast response time, resulting in a highly involving sound, perfectly timed and with no apparent phasing errors, hence our new slogan : The Art of Silence.

The design features:

  • Fully discrete design, based on JFET and Bipolar transistors;
  • Multi-device output stage, for reduced output impedance and better load handling;
  • Oversized transformer with 60VA capacity;
  • Main capacitors from Kemet (Aerovox UK);
  • Tantalum capacitors from Vishay (Israel);
  • Electrolytic capacitors from Panasonic (Japan)
  • Built-in ground-loop killer, to prevent ground-induced noise.
