Analogue systems

Yeah, I read the warranty issue on their website. I'm going to have to take
that chance becuase I don't have a need for the AS equipment that come with
the power supplies. And I also noticed the MOTM power supply and Power One
unit mentioned earlier is +/- 15VDC. Thanks for suggesting the Condor. I'll
look into that. Cheaper than the MOTM-900 kit, too. Since I'm power supply
illiterate and have never used modules before...do these power supplies
(like the Condor) come with the connectors for the AS modules to connect to?
Do AS modules use this "standard" 4 Pin (MTA-156) connector for power?

Thanks so much,
~Gman

  Remember, not using the AS PSU will void their warranty. Just know this
  before you do anything.

  I do think Bob needs to release a stand alone unit however as rack
mounting
  may not be everyone's first choice (as it wasn't mine).

  Condor makes a supply however that is adjustable from 15 to 12 and is
  bipolar and really really good.  Mine are fused of course, but I've never
  blown one - the supply goes into foldback way before my FASTBLO fuse goes!
  A very well protected unit.   You can find these at Mouser in the US for
  about $80 or so bucks with a 1.7 amp limit.  They also have a 3 amp model
  for a little under twice that.

  Regarding the 5 volt supply - not all modules need this, but ones with
  displays definately do.  If you plan to do with a 5 volt regulator off the
  12 volt line, it will work, but I strongly suggest you mount it on a heat
  sink because that little guy will get hotter than a pistol otherwise.

  hope this helps,

  Peter
