About Farad
Farad Power Supplies is founded in 2019 by Mattijs de Vries. Mattijs has over 25 years of experience in the audio trade. Starting with NOS tubes, NOS components and numerous modifications the concept of designing and producing audio gear became inevitable.
In 2006 Pink Faun High End Audio saw the light with a mission statement that seems simple, but is very difficult to actually achieve: ‘No Sound, Just Music’. Having successfully stirred the business with many innovative products for many years, Mattijs wanted to return to his roots. Not only in terms of education (Master in applied physics, TU Twente), but also to the subject of which Mattijs says “This is what I truly and fully understand: the power supply.”
Somewhere in 2018 Mattijs had a clear concept for a Linear Power Supply. One following the likes of which he could say ‘properly designed, properly build, and performing like no other for a reasonable price’. This concept would turn into the Super3 that quickly made huge success and found many devoted users around the world.
The Super3 is joined by the Super10 and SuperATX power supplies with more to come in the near future. Designed and hand build in The Netherlands since 2019 with a mission statement from 2006 close to the heart.

I was one of the first lucky ones to have a Farad Super 3, a few years ago, in my home country (Portugal). I have to say that the product is really good. I had the opportunity to exchanged some emails with Mattijs de Vries and he's a really nice person, very professional and very honest. Farad customers service is top notch. I'm glad you did this video :)

[@headquarteraudio5388]

Hi, many thanks for these wonderful words... year i think he is a music man, with Farad LPS you will have much more music in your system... cheers Mike

I've just installed a super 3, wow a big jump just after power on, the build quality is excellent and the sound, in my system is amazing, a great package - I too exchanged emails with Mattijs , great customer service, and as below, Top Notch.

[@headquarteraudio5388]

Yes, the more consistently you use LPS from the source (i.e. from the router), the better the sound...Expensive constant cable replacement is not expedient. Cheers Mike

[@johnh539]

My 'convenient' power line is too noisy to use will the super 3 cope with a really bad line. Good luck FARAD.

[@headquarteraudio5388]

There are solutions for that, write me an email... I'll know more in the next few days... cheers Mike

Very interesting. I’m about to buy a Farad 5v lpsu for my JCat USB XE . Hoping for big improvement coming from an iFi 5v

[@headquarteraudio5388]

Hi, oh yes, its not only about the much better FARAD LPS for the very nice JCat, is also that you get rid of the dirt of the SMPS/Ifi for the entire audio system... cheers Mike

​@@headquarteraudio5388 Hi Mike, will Farad Super10 5V bring improvement over Super 3 5V when powering an USB card with external power input?

@@larazss3254 Hi, never tried, but i think it is a big difference. But please use a good made DC Cable too! Cheers Mike
