I also know of at least one other person who has this PSU (for the Touch) and they also report and improvement in sound quality (even as I reported in the Here)...

Have you used this PSU, or do you have experience of it and if you haven't why are you knocking it, is a comment from a user (clive7164) that he found an improvement not enough for you?

It's not the present, it's the Greek.
If you do a search on DIY Audio you'll see what I mean.

They have 3 different suppliers and three different product codes (none of which are on the box), the ones I bought for my SB receivers (9V) about a month ago were discounted to £12.99, have a red maplins label on the device, and cover 1.5,3,4.5,6,7.5,9 & 12 v range.

The ones in the Coventry store are as above, but now at £18.99

The current one advertised on the web page has a blue maplins label and cover 5,6,7.5,9,12,13.2 v range. Perfect for my SB3 and for the touch too!

So the question is how can one acquire the updated one?

Maplins are apparently going to get in touch with me, I'll post their response if I get one :eyebrows:

Tony what does your recently bought VN10L look like, what voltage options does it offer, and is the maplins logo red?

red logo and it goes up to 12v...sounds smashin.

The TTouch is based on the same TeddyCap power supplies for Naim equipment utilising the SuperTeddyReg.

So if it's the same as the SuperTeddy regulators i have seen it's a cascaded (2 section) series regulator. Shunt regulators are incredibly inefficient unless you are nearly drawing the full design current, requiring huge heatsinks ;)

No but I started a thread a while ago on the subject, and after some good input from more electronically minded people on AOS I moved towards the cheaper maplins offering...what is that filter thingy? Probably a ferric ring in a posh box...

Perhaps I'm just too cynical ;)

I this the one Will

It is indeed Jon...one small downside, the one I ordered arrived very promptly, unfortunately it's the original spec not the web site one...i.e. it doesn't do 5v only 4.5v etc.

So 'buyer beware', fortunately I've blundered into success again, the beresford DAC I'd recently bought needs 12v (I thought it needed 15v), and the old one does that too, so I'll be keeping mine.:)
