New PSU for upgraded MF - X-10D (Original version)

[kaufmann]

Hi,

This is my first post here as I subscribed earlier today.

I recently purchased an original version of the X-10D. Since I have no idea how much it was in use before I got it maybe it is time to refurbish...
So, I found this lovely page and after the holidays I will order the -upgrade kit- for my unit.

From what I understand the latest version from 2017 sees a massive increase in the power supply caps from 10,000uF to 15,000uF.
-Does it mean I also have to upgrade the external PSU to make it work properly or will it be fine with the original PSU that came with the unit?

Thanks in advance,

Hi Kaufmann,

Welcome to the forum. The 500mA MF power supply will be absolutely fine.

No worries,

Mike.

Hi Mike,

Thanks for your quick reply!
While at the topic; is it a vast improvement to upgrade the external power-supply over the original?
If used solely as an add on unit to an older cd-player, would it be night & day difference with an external psu?

Also, does the internal upgrade kit of the x10D change the measurements of the unit, i.e input/ resistance or output?

Thanks in advance and Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays.
Cheers, Kaufmann
