WTB Linear power suppy

Looking for one of the following
Uptone 1.2
Paul Hynes SR4
Fidelizer Nikola classic
sbooster 12v

 

Josh there’s a LPS-1 on US Audio Mart but it’s a month and a half old listing. Doesn’t hurt to ask the seller though:

https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/650049823-uptone-audio-ultracap-lps-1-linear-power-supply/

 

I understand that the lps 1.2 is a big improvement over the 1, thanks for letting me know, appreciated

 

It’s an improvement, but I wouldn’t worry too much about the differences. The main thing is the LT3045’s in the LPS-2, which veers into nervosa depending on application, and I think a wider output voltage range. What are you trying to power?

 

You may want to list the voltage range you are shooting for... I may be wrong, but I think only the uptone product in your list has selectable DC voltage out

 

The Paul Hynes does too, but Josh is unlikely to find one of those unless he lucks out. The Fidelizer supply is set voltage though, you’re right.

 

its for a fidilizer switch, 12v 5amp max I do not think the lps 1 goes to 12v appreciate your input

 

Yeah you’d need a LPS-2/2.1 then, LPS-1 tops out at 7V. You don’t need to worry about the current being more than 5 amps - you need to worry about it being not less than 1 amp, which the Fidelizer switch website says the included (SMPS) adapter is rated as.

You should check out the Small Green Computer LPS’es or the AfterDark ones. Former are particularly cheap, which is because they are OEM in China, but it’s a Western company so they are likely picking out or having manufactured non-crap supplies out of the huge crop of AliExpress LPS-style options. You’re powering something very far upstream of your gear, so while I’m not gonna tell you it is impossible for it to be audible, it makes less sense to spend $$$ on an LPS for a switch than if you were using it to replace a wall wart for a DAC or similar.

If you do want to do an AliExpress supply, the “STUDER 900” ones some guys at AudioAsylum thought were pretty good. They’re all under $100. Super annoying to search through AliExpress though, and it will take a month at least to get to you.

 

thanks for all of the info, I will check them all out
best,
Josh
