I agree.
Reading the website, it seems quite obvious that the caiman is described as an improved version of the TC-7520.
So I wouldn't bother to ask specifically about this question.
A normal reader takes for granted that it is supplied at least with the TC-7520 power supply.

Beside, the new power supply was announced to available on the website in May 2009.
It is now on the products list, but my browser seems unable to order it alone.

Is it just a problem with my browser, or the same for everybody ?

I am afraid to say that you are talking out of tune Brian. If you had bothered to pay proper attention, you would have noted that I mentioned over and over again in various threads that the Caiman is a modified TC-7520, and that it is being shipped with the TC-7520 power supply. What more clarity is needed???

That is what I would have expected that any normal person would understand. However, due to misplaced suggestions it is now becoming so confusing for the likes of even me:doh:.

What is happening, from what I can see, is that some people are giving the impression that Caiman is available with an alternative power supply. That is however not the case.
What is in my product line up for the future is an additional power supply. However, that is for the future. What is available now is a modified TC-7520, called the Caiman, with the matching TC-7520 power supply.

Anyone not clear about it yet?

Sorry, reading this thread, I still don't understand ... :)
When you order a caiman, do you have to pay for the power supply in addition to the Caiman price or not ?

If yes, that obviously means that the Caiman, with its shown price doesn't include a power supply ... and that can hardly be understood by any sensible person.

If no, I don't understand the original poster question. I understood he had to pay for the power supply, in addition to the Caiman price.

Thanks Stan dac turned up this morning excellent service .Listening to it now with my laptop and headphones

Not got round to connecting to my amp yet. Even though its only been on 3/4 hr and nowhere near burned on the headphone side its a big inprovement over my Pro-ject headamp

I feel for you Stan. :) nb2, no, it comes with a power supply all in the one price.

The Caimen is £175 +£15 for power supply then VAT and postage to be added

Its worth it though excellent well made bit of kit

Some people say it bland to look at .I dont think so it simple and functional just like all electronic equipment should be especially HIFI

Mark

To cut a long story short its £232.29 all in and well worth it

U cant even see the Caimen on the UK sight . I emailed him to ask about availability and price earlier in the week ,paid yesterday turned up today .

U cant get better service than that

Mark:cool:

its not hard guys!

when you buy a dac of stan he sends you the apropriate psu! hes not going to send you the wrong, or indeed 2 psu's is he?? why would he??
and if, like when i bought my 7520, there was a new psu iminant he would email you and let you know upon ordering.
any future developments are discussed on here but i would say nothing should be speculated on unless stan says "new psu available"

stan is a independant company working very hard to provide you guys with the best quality dac for the best money he can - picking at how he chooses to write out his recipts, in my view, is a waste of your and his time!

Exactly ,anyway onto somthin else

How long do u think it needs to be run in and is there anyway of doing it apart from the obvious !
