When I got my D200 I turned the volume all the way up with no input and couldn't hear anything from my tweeters, even with my ears right on it. I since had the idea that because the Expert uses a digital volume system it's possible to not actually have the volume at full tilt if there's no input so I'm not sure how accurate that test is.
A few things I've found over the years though. Remember the good old days when you could hear a fluorescent tube start up over the radio? I still have those old tubes in the old part of our house. I can hear them start up from meters away but I've never heard them over the speakers. I've also never been able to hear any difference between having lights on or off, be it fluorescents or, supposedly bad for high frequency dirt on the lines, LEDs.
I think a great way to try out how good or bad the Expert's power supply is would be to tape a mobile phone onto the power cord. See if that has any influence on the sound (or no sound with the volume all the way up) as it rings (put the phone on silent of course)
