I know we have spoken on the phone before buddy.. But it would seem from that post we have actually met - it's that spot on... (maybe its just the overwhelming impression I give of not knowing anything...)
I just said to Hannah " check me out, I just did somthing with electrical stuff and it hasn't broken anything yet..."
She asked what I did... I said .. "well I turned a thing clockwise" ....

Leave it on max, you'll be fine. If you need a connector for it, cut off the DC cable from the cheapo Caiman PSU (the 12V one), strip the end and solder it into the PSU (positive to tip of the plug). You then have the other end to plug into the Caiman.

I'm curious now to try the Maplin Linear PSU with my modded dac - I have the Mutaras and maybe Im not getting the best out of them with the PSU I currently have?
I'm using the Maplin adjustable one previously recommended for the 7510 Dac, which Im running at 15V.
Do we Reckon the fact that the new one is Linear will be a big enough improvement over the switcher I'm running now? (Which runs 15V dead on)?
Does the fact that I'm using a "foo" power cable (Krystal Kables Titan) with the PSU make a positive difference and hence I should keep what I've got?
Also....(cap in hand)...
Does anyone have a spare 7520 psu kicking around I could use for the plug?
I dont want to cut off the plug from my own Maplins variable switcher, as I could pass it on to someone who could use it.
If you have PM me, sure I'll have an I/C or even a few CDs for your trouble.
Thanks.
Gaz.

Gaz,
If you can wait a couple of weeks, I'm away from home at present, I have a spare 7520 PSU that you can have if no else has one available in the meantime.

Any thoughts on potential improvements on sound quality with Stans CBR Linear Vs my current Switcher (@15v with Foo mains lead)?
Go for it?

You get a better signal to noise ratio, which brings out a bit more detail.

Does the Caiman use special power plugs or is it a version of the usual 5mm diameter DC plug?
