These things can sk! (I'm running through open doors here ;) Anyway, when buying one, ALWAYS prefer the biggies than the littles tiny ones. 1/ they are with transformers or properly made switching power supplies (took me an hour to find the English word) 2/ they are usually oversized so they get less hot 3/ overall conception is better = from less to almost no noise from the switching power supply (noise on the power line, even on other equipement, not the noise a power supply can make that you can hear, it's different, if it's noisy this way, change it) But they are BIG, and they are not as dirt cheap as the others. This said, a small one won't necessarily be a bad one, but they are swimming in a sea of small bad ones. btw never plug a power supply not matching exactly Elektron specs. It's in the manual I know it, I've translated it ;) (I repeat it again) (save you KNOW what you're doing, if you don't, "don't f around with it!" (c)Gonzales) Remember, in your XXXXXXXXX$ equipement, it's always the tiny inexpensive bit of rust that WILL annoy you first. It's part of Murphy's law.
