Been on powdecs website and discovered there is no cmg9-01-c.....but 
there is a pte43-xx-c (this was referenced in the audiofanzine 
message thread)...this unit is identical in size...but has only 6 out 
pins instead of the 10 on my unit....also, some of the vents have 
been covered with a thin plastic screen.....i aint a scientist, but 
why would you design a cover with ventilation gaps and then cover 
them up? ...maybe when they did the 240v switch unit for the uk 
market it buzzed or something, so they maybe covered the vents with a 
screen (the screen covers just the wire coil thingys 
(transformers?..) which woulde make sense....of course they must have 
known that this covering of the vents would probably shorten the 
working life of the unit from 100,000 hrs to say 10% of that.. 
Anyway, I am hoping that the 6 pin version (pte 43-xx-c) will still 
work (surely not connecting the standbye pins will mean that only the 
proper on/off switches will turn it on/off?)...

what do you think of all this...
