Got a link for that thread? By all means, use a Switchcraft plug if you have them available at the corner store or want to order one for >$10 delivered. That's why I provided the links. ;) The RatShack plug is not exactly beefy, but I would be 'shocked' :) if the relatively short connection would not conduct more than 1A in short bursts without melting. . .which would be the reason for using an oversize 3A PS -- to have current available for brief dynamic peaks without stressing the PS. The rating of the RatShack connector is probably for a steady draw of 1A all day. The SB usually draws < 1A, even less with the display turned off, which is how I run it. I would look at the "1A rating" of the connector in this steady-state context. I would be extremely surprised to learn that delivering bursts of, say, 2A is a problem with this connector.
