Just my opinion, but it is a good supply that is well thought out. Now having said that, the SB3 still has a switcher inside the case so in the end, why bother? Do I think there is a benefit from the extra available current over the OEM supply, personally I do. I had a regulated HP supply on my SB3 for over a week and had it set to save the peak amp draw. My SB3 will use more then 2 amps if it is available, YMMV. So yes I like the CI VDC-SB for the current overhead, but there is still that internal switcher. If it were me, I would just get a $30 supply that has 3 to 5 amps output. -- iPhone iPhone Last.FM http://www.lastfm.com/user/mePhone Media Room: Transporter, Vandersteen Quatro Signature, Ayre MX-R Mono Blocks, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, VCC-5 Reference Center Channel, four VSM-1 Signatures, Runco 710, RAM Oppo DV970HD, VeraStarr 6.4SE Living Room: SqueezeBox Duet, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold Bedroom: Squeezebox 3, Thiel 2.3, NAD C370 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=47006 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
