I totally agree with Jeff Medwin about toroids. But there may be another reason for the inferior sound quality. The noise issue is not only a factor for the device where the toroid is supplying power, it also allows noise to go the opposite direction, namely, noise caused by the diodes can pass into the room's electric wiring and enter other eqpt.I have experience with this effect, and it's easy to demonstrate. Just wire up a DC supply (transformer, diodes, cap) amd attach a dummy load. It doesn't get conected to your hifi gear in any way except that it gets plugged into a wall socket. Then listen to some music while the DC supply is plugged in and while it is not. Can you hear the difference when the DC supply is plugged in? In my experience, the effects are quite noticeable and they are more so when a toroid is used.
