condos = Basic filtering/stabilisation (removes noise according to the 
frequency induced by the value of the condensator, takes care of some 
spikes = smoothing the tension)

If there was a varistor (limits the tension to the rated value, the 
extra just shorts thru the varistor) inside it would be a good thing, 
but no… Wall warts are the 5th leg in the realm of power units.

What I've never understood is why Elektron has chosen to use AC/AC 
stabilized wall warts with a lot of current. even if they are sturdy, 
it's not by the shelf units so … I'd be happy to know the reason behind 
this choice.
