What's John's opinion of multiple regulators in series? For my convenience I built my linear PS with stuff I had. Hammond 4.8A dual-bobbin xfmr (I really like them!), Schottky diodes, LT1086 variable reg, Panny FCs. No choke (see [ ] below), but resonance control on the xfmr. That is the main PS, which is set to put out 7VDC. Second stage is a local regulator stuffed into a very tiny box which sits about 3" from the SBT, same regulating parts as the main PS. Allows me to put the larger main PS pretty much anywhere convenient. [It's not totally relevant to this particular discussion, but the PS is fed from balanced power which requires a certain physical placement which is nowhere near where my SBT is.] My SBT only draws about 0.4A (2W) pretty much continuously, so nothing gets very warm.
That said, the switcher included with the SBT is quite decent IMO for the wall-wart switcher genre, much much better than many others I have. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cfraser's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=48869 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82648 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
