Maybe I have missed something but for £215 I'd like to see a proper specification with noise figures etc. stated.

I agree it's a lot of money based on a picture and a few pretty words. I was hoping someone might have some experience of it.

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

I believe that's a knock-off, the real McCoy is made in Singapore as far as I know, at least the one I have is.
Yes it's more expensive and no I'm not trying to spend your hard earned cash, but take a look at this listing, it's not terribly pricey given the parts list.
I can also vouch for the seller, he seems to have re-branded as Vinshine Audio and is making an absolutely beautiful looking variant of the well regarded Soekris DAC as well as a higher spec'd 80VA version of that PSU too, but I'm pretty sure he also made the Jays Audio PSUs and wasn't just repackaging some Chinese junk.
EDIT: I see in the photo of the 80VA version of the PSU it says "Designed in Singapore" on the rear panel, so it appears he doesn't make them in Singapore anymore (maybe he never did?).

Oh ye of little faith.
Did you not see the name Longdog Audio mentioned?
Nick (of Longdog) is obsessive about power supplies, and his are very quiet indeed.
I use one of these PSUs with my Squeezebox Touch, and it has lifted the performance of my Touch considerably.
There's a thread somewhere on this forum where a number of PSUs were measured, and this one came out quietest of the bunch, and if I recollect correctly, one of the PSUs measured was a rechargeable battery pack.

I noticed the Longdog name but the actual unit does not appear to be branded as such and the description seems a bit vague on this matter.
It's built by Nick, regardless of what's on the case.
