Why? This is a DC power supply - the only thing an extra connecter can do is put a tiny bit of extra resistance in series with the SB, which increases the load on the PS by a very small amount. If the SB draws around 1A (the PS is rated for 2.4A), it looks to the PS like a 5 Ohm load. The connecter could increase the resistance by a small fraction of an Ohm (I'll check it when it arrives), thus incrementally increasing the load to a point still far below the capacity of the PS. Fluctuations in the current demand of the SB will be much larger than this, as will fluctuations in the output of the PS due to AC voltage variations throughout the day, or due to bad connections in your walls, etc. -- opaqueice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31971 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
