In a DIY power supply thread on MUFF's forum here http://www.muffwiggler.com/forum/viewtopic.php? t=1200&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=30 (look for matthias' first post about half way down) it was suggested that power supplies like the PowerOne models that have remote sensing terminals should have those sensing terminals wired up to the appropriate output terminals to make sure the output voltage is always the same when the load changes (adding or subtracting modules from the system would cause this I guess?) That way you don't need to readjust the ps trimmers after each change? I'm looking for second opinoins before I go ahead and do this. Someone said that MOTM power supplies don't have the sensing terminals connected and I also noticed on Richard Brewster's site here http://pugix.com/synth/portable-rack-cabinets/ that his DIY power supply doesn't have the sensing terminals connected either. If you look at the power supply pictures on the Synthesizers.com site it looks like they wire up the sensing terminals. So, is one way better than the other? Are both equally 'good'? Thoughts and recommendations appreciated! ;-) John L Rice
