Bastin power supply for AC powered Gyrodecs.

This is a product commissioned by the excellent Deco Audio. They claim a significant improvement over the QC supply for the original Papst motor with the addition of fine speed adjustment. Sounds like an interesting upgrade at £560 and could well be preferable to the current DC motor versions.

Yes, they are excellent power supplies which I often demo here. The problem is, you will need to wait around six months to get one, as Martin is drowning in orders..:doh:

I'm after one for the Thorens TD124 but can't seem to be able to get in touch with him. He does make them though.

I was very pleased with the improvement from the QC so im surprised this is so much better.

£560 is a lot. At £350 I'd have been tempted but it's too much imo.

For £560 it looks crap too.

One would have to get a demo or loan from Deco for comparison to come to any conclusions. It comes in a rudimentary case but so do those Technics supplies that cost even more. You also get a strobe and disc for the money. Also would want to compare against the latest DC Orbe to see if the entire upgrade route makes more sense.

I have three on order for the TD124.

Two months and counting..
