Whenever listening to the lower end of the AM radio band, it picks up noise from the switching power supply of my slimp3 or sb1. I have to unplug the power from the slimp3/sb1 (unplugging from wall not necessary) in order to eliminate the noise when listening to an AM station.
If I understand correctly, switching to a linear power supply would eliminate this problem, correct? I know I'm not the first to replace the power supply. Any recommendations on one? I certainly don't want to spend lots of money on one. I see this Radio Shack one which can do 5V/2A, but I'm not sure if it's switching or linear. It's also a little more expensive than I'd prefer. So any advice on decent, inexpensive power supplies would be very appreciated! http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?parentPage=family&summary=summary&techSpecs=techSpecs¤tTab=features&cp=2032056.2032136.2032153&custRatings=custRatings&features=features&accessories=accessories&productId=2049697&support=support&tab=summary As a secondary question, I know the supply that SD ships is 5V/2A, but is that actually what's necessary? I see some supplies that are 4.5V, or 6V, or perhaps slightly under 2A, and it makes me wonder if any of these would be acceptable? BTW, I'm not concerned about the size. Big is fine as long as I don't have the noise! -- TheShanMan ------------------------------------------------------------------------ TheShanMan's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10724 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34330 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
