am not very electrically inclined). Will this method give a more consistant voltage than batteries when making CS? What is the "recipe" for making CS with using the DC adapters -

It takes a very good power supply to equal the quality of DC produced by batteries.

By "more consistent", I suppose you mean, Uniform, smooth, NO ripple, and a level voltage.

Radio shack sells some small books for about $ 2.00 that will explain simple power supplies. You can't expect to gain a full understanding of this technology in only a few minutes.

A few hours would be a better investment. And.... if you really want to know about it, buy one of the "Experimenter Kits".

The "200 in ONE" is a good investments, and will take you to First base, and half way to second base in this field of study.

Of course, any specific questions can be answered on this list.
