I don't know though, as I haven't tried it.

If what you are looking for is a one-time voltage adjustment (to taste) and a known accurate 50Hz, the PS Audio is quite enough, and saves you splashing out for something else.
Thanks for your input Jay. I may have a look at the Lenco jobby.

Price for building the controller was approximately £150-£200 depending upon the case you intend to use. I am in no way experienced with building electronics but thanks to the designer Nigel's amazing support even I managed to complete the build successfully.

Here's the finished job

Thanks again for the tip! Looks like I need to dig out my Lenco Heaven log in details and have a look at this PSU.
