In reply to all the people in this thread who suggests me to "just try
it":
There's a reason why I asked. I wanted to know if anybody was familiar
with this particular Amiga 500 power supply, and i wanted to hear about
their experiences, before cutting off the original A500 power connector
and go

My point was that asking for other people's opinions about it when you

He did have a point though - try it! As long as it really is giving
out about 5V and you get the polarity right, there's really not a lot
that can go wrong except it just might not work (insufficient current,

Simply because the connectors do not match and I have to get adapters
first before being able to try anything. ;)

Yes - listen to it! If you can't hear any noise, then there isn't
any...

I just did some quick measurements on my old C64 power supply.
This is marked with 5V 1.7A DC, and 9V 1A AC.
It has a 7 pin DIN plug with pin 3 as + and pin 4 and the shield as -.
On pin 3 I measured 5.2V DC and 10.1V AC with no load.
I would be very careful using this on the squeezebox. Although

Yes, but don't forget to distinguish between AC and DC output. 5VDC is
quite different
@tyler_durden: The noise I refer to is a high frequency pulse emitted by
the PS that I easily hear and which is disturbing me during low volume
listening, since I am not far away from it when doing so ( I am always
talking about the DAC PS, the SB3 PS is fine). The question about a

What difference does it make if the power supply makes noise and you
have an instrument to measure it? You're switching the supply from the
stock unit because you think it might sound better. So just plug it in
and try it. If you like the sound, who cares if it makes noise?

Hey, I have one of these too! (along 2 or 3 other ones that deliver 5V
and 12V, one (old Microset) with an analogue voltage selector and
display in a metal case and a PSU of an external DVD writer that broke
that can deliver both voltages).
Now my question. If the connector is done right with the
Hi
I just sorted some of my old junk in my mom's basement today, and found
an Amiga 500 power supply, and i can see that it delivers 5v @ 2.5A
That should be necessary for the SB, and given it's huge size and heavy
weight, I guess it's a linear PSU...?
Would this PSU get me an improvement in s
