SIDstation power suppy -- update
2001-07-11 by Roger Scott
I got my Elektron-approved PSU in the mail today and it makes all the difference in the world. I thought it would mainly reduce the 60Hz hum level, but it also (for whatever reason) drastically reduces the other noises. There's really not much need for a noise gate at this point. If you have a Radio Shack PSU, or anything other than the Elektron-supplied PSU, and you think the noise level is something you just have to live with, I *strongly* encourage you to order a PSU from Elektron. They're outrageously expensive (US$45, incl. shipping), but they really do work. Elektron, have you used these Radio Shack PSUs yourselves? Do you know how awful they are and how terrible they make the SIDstation sound? It'd be a nice gesture to make the good PSUs available to those who bought SIDstations before you started including the good PSUs at a reduced price so as to enable everyone to get the best possible SID-sounds. - Roger
