I have for sale an Amptastic Mini-1 amplifier . I bought this amp without a PSU which can be bought direct from Amptastic for around £15 . The amp is in excellent condition and comes boxed .
SOLD

I also have for sale a Linear PSU which is suitable for the Mini-1 and , since the output can be adjusted , is also suitable for other kit which requires a Linear PSU.
When I bought this PSU from China I sent it to James ( istari knight ) to be checked for suitabllity for use in the UK . James not only gave the PSU a clean bull of health , he also upgraded some of the caps to Kimber Kaps.
The umbilical cable has also been upgraded with new cable and a new plug :http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/OYAIDE-DC-2-5G-AUDIOPHILE-GRADE-DC-POWER-PLUG-FITS-SQUEEZEBOX-TOUCH-/350584424390?hash=item51a075c7c6
I've had the Mini-1 , powered by this PSU , on all day at home and the PSU casing stays cool to the touch . This is an excellent upgrade to the PSU supplied by Amptastic.
I'm looking for £60 for the PSU .
I may be willing to do a deal if someone wishes to purchase them together .

I had one of those PSU's as well. they are very good for the money, and very flexible too. Look very smart with the display glws

Hi,

Would the PSU be able to output 5v for use with a Raspberry Pi, and can the connector be changed to a micro USB one, I'm looking for a decent PSU for the Pi and I see linear is the way to go for improved sound etc.

Mike.
The PSU can be adjusted to output 5V quite easily . You would probably need some kind of adaptor Mike http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DC-5-5x2-1-mm-Jack-To-Right-Angle-USB-Mini-5-pin-Male-Power-Adapter-Converter-/251783939977?hash=item3a9f7e0789
Maybe some of the experts here can help further .

Probably will depend on how much current it can put out as well

I think it's 2.5V Grant . Can you please advise if this output is suitable fot the Pi .

2.5 amps? if it is then yes it will power a pi and probably a hdd too although those are better self powered anyways. recommended is 2 amps needed although Ive used less and it worked so 2.5 would be fine

Hi both of you,

I'll give it some thought and get back to you soon, I have my eye on a few other items and not sure what to go for first.

Mike.
