DC-3 External Power Supply for Technics SL 12XX
I'm selling my rather substantial external power supply only because as well documented here, I've been itching to try Paul Hynes's triple stage regulator modules
of which I've been paying down on for a while.
This will go towards that with his SR7 psu.
I did extensive searching before purchasing this three or so years ago.
Having been impressed by the testimonies for the Custom Cables DC1 and DC2 external psu's I contacted the owner Sean Jacobs.
My brief was for something even more substantial / higher speced than the DC 1 & 2.
He said that he had produced such a thing for his own use and was considering putting it into production as the DC3.
Mine was probably one of the first, how exact and close it is to his current DC3 here http://www.custom-hifi-cables.co.uk/home/power-supplies/dc3-power-supply I dont know.
What I can say though is that it has been and excellent upgrade and addition to my set up. It would be going no where if not for my desire to try the triple stage regs.
It is top quality weighing in at 7kg's
It comes with £100 worth of quality power lead - this one here http://www.custom-hifi-cables.co.uk/home/mainscables/powerblack-mains-cables/powerblack-iec mine is a fair bit longer than the £90 for 1m.
Also comes with a good turntable to power supply lead.
It has two switches to the rear.
When it first came my platter would hesitate to spin, not sure if this was the start button on my Techie playing up, either way Sean had it back, all the way from London to Leeds and return, free of charge no quibble.
He fitted a second switch to alleviate the problem - so first switch at the back face on to left - flick up, then second switch to right, press down. Not sure why he didnt have both switches operate in same direction but hey ho :)
It has not had a lot of use as my system has been down for very long periods due to upgrades, amp failures, changes etc and is in excellent / near mint condition.
I requested a low glow green light in the build - a nice touch.
This cost me £418 i'm only asking £220, Postage cant be more than £25 but I can check with someone like Parcel2Go once packed, weighed and measured.
Local pickup fine too - London area.
A lot of psu for someone who wants quality without the cost.
First come first served ;) :)
