PSU for Caiman
Ive been looking through the treads regrading the Caiman for upgrading the PSU. Someone had great results with a Teddy Prado PSU but that was about £180. Did any one find a cheaper option?
I'm not into DIY, so I need to buy off the shelf, or someone else's diy build.
Thanks

The Lamda units are a low cost alternative and pretty good.

Just make sure you check the DC output voltage before connecting it to your Caiman as i'm sure Gary will advise if he thinks back
I have no more spare Sanyo Os-Con capacitors

Thanks for the reminder Mark, still get the shivers thinking about that!
Still, made me get the soldering iron out and try it for my self, so silver linings and all that.
Its a great psu though, weighs as much as a brick and a good improvement on standard. The wee Oscon cap works a treat

David (mains-cables-r-us) has just bought out a psu that's suitable for the Beresfords at £100
Seems to work very well
