X-CAN V2 Power Supply PSU Maplins

Hi,

Yes it is working and sounds good.


I would note two things thought, a] the adaptor that connects to the MF unit is not a very snug fit and b] when you turn off the adapter you get a horrible noise through the amp as it powers down. I don't know if this is meant to happen. It certainly did not with the MF unit?

A kind of "wheeeeeeow!" "neeeyah!" sound?

Perfectly normal.

I am interested that these are now gettting the nod as when I originally suggested using them they were deemed to be unacceptable?

Personally, I wouldn't use a transformer with poor regulation, and hope that the output voltage drops to the specified voltage of the equipment when loaded. Mike only uses transformers that have tighter specifications and higher quality iron in them for his Little Pinkies.

Thanks Sandy.

I was tempted to use the Maplin unit - now lost in the garage somewhere. Unfortunately a Little Pinkie isn't an option at the moment and the Rapid Wallwarts Mike used to recommend are no longer available. Anything else worth looking at?
