Our Comments:
The Bel Canto LNS1 power supply offers low noise, high transient current and a high degree of isolation from the AC Line supply, and is designed to power 1x Bel Canto VB source product.
The LNS1 is designed to provide enhanced, ultra low noise power for the CD2 and VB equipped products such as the Dac3.5VB, DAC3VB, PRE3VB, PHONO3VB.
The LNS1 is for 1x VB component only, however the alternative VBS1 will supply up to 3x VB source componets.
Features:
Low Noise Switch Mode Power Supply (SMPS) provides over 90% energy efficiency, specific control over operating parameters of the supply, and high levels of isolation with significantly lower audio band noise than traditional 50/60 Hertz transformer based linear supplies
Extensive input filtration, low noise rectification and high energy storage prior to the SMPS
Massive bank of LC filtration using compound inductors, parallel electrolytic capacitors and final stage polypropylene capacitors to ensure hundreds of amperes of peak current capability and low noise across a wide frequency spectrum
Compact SMPS isolation transformer for superior isolation from the power line.
The Virtual Battery Supply powers up to three Bel Canto music products equipped with the 12 volt VB internal power supply board for an incredibly high-value upgrade path.
These include the CD2 (replacing the compact external 12VDC supply with the new LNS1), the DAC3, PRE3 or PHONO3, or any future Bel Canto product with VB 12VDC input compatibility.
The Sound
Like falling off a log! The extremely high isolation and regulation, the 100 Joules of energy storage and high current capacity of the VBS1 delivers breathtaking results! You'll find greatly enhanced transparency, palpability, soundstage integrity, bass control, midrange texture, treble extension and sweetness. You loved your DAC3 before? Prepare yourselves!

Bel Canto VBS1 white paer
Bel Canto VBS1 white paper:
Background
The VBS1 began as a thought experiment, what if we could re-create the advantages of a battery power supply without any of the disadvantages?
1) Define the key elements that make a battery a superior power source
2) Determine what technologies to use to deliver these key elements
3) Improve upon battery performance
4) Package it to best effect and in the most versatile manner
5) Design any auxiliary supplies to power specific circuitry
6) Confirm the results through comprehensive testing
7) Listen to the results
8) Iterate as needed [review

Features:
Linear Filtering technology for unequaled audio and video clarity
Series Multi-Stage Protection provides virtually mainenance-free AC surge suppression
Retractable LED lamps illuminate a cabinent or rack full of equipment
Zero ground contamination circuitry protects critical digital components
Furman website
The extreme AC demands encountered in the professional audio/video arena have required technological developments far in excess of typical home theater/audiophile power products. In studios, live sound, and broadcast facilities, breakdown is unacceptable. Equipment failure or poor performance is costly. The same is true of today's home theater. Our solution based technology, extensive engineering expertise, and robust build quality have answered the challenge of today's corrupted power lines, and led to the creation of the Elite-10 E i.
When employing the Elite-10 E i, you will notice far clearer, stunningly focused sound and visual images from your system. Video presentation will be crisp and colors true with greater gray and black scale definition, as well as noticeably improved depth and clarity. Many of the technological advances previously available only in our flagship Reference Conditioners are cornerstones of the Elite series. Now everyone can reap the benefits of unrivaled power purification and unequalled surge protection. [review
