    Default SMSL SA-S3 Question

    This was given to me from a friend of mines.

    Forgive me for the dumb question. What will be the correct power supply for this amp? Second pic showing the rear.

    Thanks.

    Presumably a psu that gives 14V for maximum output.

    A cheap 13.8V linear would be good.

    It should work OK on 12V i would have though with a slightly reduced output.
    I love Hendrix for so many reasons. He was so much more than just a blues guitarist - he played damn well any kind of guitar he wanted. In fact I'm not sure if he even played the guitar - he played music. - Stevie Ray Vaughan

    I have one of these, not bad at all.I use it with a 13.8 regulated supply that I got off fleabay for a tenner. Much better than the supplied switched mode supply

    It was about 4 years ago! An old supply for an amatuer radio. You should be able to find something similar.
