Thanks chaps. I couldn't find the replacement Boom psu on the Logitech web site (the search facility iscvery poor) so in the end* I ordered the 12v 2.5amp one from the UK Mouser store. I didn't bother getting the UK power fitment as it looked the same as the one on the original beta Boom supply

There are regularly sellers on ebay selling psu's they claim to be compatible with the boom, but no real indication of quality. Alternative is often 12v psus manufactured by DVE come up second hand quite often. Usually just for a couple of quid + postage. These seem to always have the right

The Logitech spare parts shop still has replacement PSUs, but you pay minimum 29,20 £ too (power supply and shipping without power plug plates, which cost 8 £ if you need them). signor_rossi's Profile:

That 12v 2.5W PSU at Mouser works out at a total of €43.37 ! I've realised that the Radio PSU is 18v and has the same sized barrel connector and, although it's only 1.0 amp the Boom seems to sound OK with. Not much of a solution though. I can't seem to find anyone whom can sell me a single

My beta Boom PSU is 18v 0.8A which means a 12V 1.5A might be OK. The Boom PSU is made by Phihong so if you should look up the code (something like PSA12R ) on your faulty Boom PSu under Phihong power supplies on Mouser ort other suppliers.
