    Nice thing about having a couple noise nukes around is that I tested this with a couple and had the same result.

    Piety wall-wart is an AC step-down transformer, Noise Nuke is for DC! Piety has a good AC to DC linear supply inside.

    We like to joke about the not-expensive wall wart as being a feature of the Piety's house sound. If you clean it up, will you lose some of the Piety's magic? Probably not, but I remember when @Dr. Higgs pimped out his Torpedo and sucked in comparison after.

    Might work if you keep turning it on and off really fast

    Like @Biodegraded said, it’s an AC transformer not a switching DC power supply. Pretty much all of Schiit’s products that have a wall wart are like that, except I think maybe the Fulla/Hel.

    DON'T DO THAT!!!!
    Noise Nuke is for smps DC output. Piety uses an AC step down transformer, output is AC. You may have blown the electrolytic capacitors in the Noise Nuke(s).

    Gah! Copy that. I did NOT understand it was an AC device. Dumb me not reading the labels and assuming that it was DC. This explains the weirdo readings from my meter. These were quick-ish tests. Noise Nukes are functioning (supplying power, at least) with other devices. Thanks everyone. Mystery solved and disaster averted (I think).

    Follow up. Is there a meter reading I can make without taking everything apart to determine if I destroyed the capacitors in the Noise Nukes?
