I too am skeptical of audophile placebo effect, however, I know my amps and speakers well, and have a lot of different sources I've used with them, and they are currently lacking magic with the squeezebox. I'm going to drag up a good DAC and see how that sounds with it. I don't want to send the S

Without load. Just multimeter into the terminals. Robin Bowes Wrote: > Paul Sop said the following on 02/17/2006 03:38 AM: > > Will six volts fry the Squeezebox? That is as low as it goes > (measured). > > arrr.. > > Is that measured with or without load? > > R. -- Paul Sop

In my mind the supposed benefits of using a linear PSU vs. a switcher would be by far outweighed by the risks of using too high a voltage. It's definitely not worth it, especially since there are quite a few people (myself included) who have not perceived ANY improvement by switching to a linear

It might work fine for a while but longevity will be much reduced. You may want to experiment with a series resistor to lower the voltage. -- crooner crooner's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3379

Will six volts fry the Squeezebox? That is as low as it goes (measured). arrr.. As for Jacob's ladder, there's a small tesla coil in my living room :) Of course, I don't run it in the Living Room -- that's what the kitchen is for: http://www.paulsop.com/gallery/September2005/IMG_3625 -- Paul

Just be sure of the voltage you apply. Do you have a good multimeter you can check it with? -- nelamvr6 nelamvr6's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3113 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.c
