Frequency could be an issue for transformer* based supplies but mostly
not.
Some products i had have an 110-230 switch and the mains transformer is
designed to cope with both 50 and 60Hz.
Switchmode supplies would often eat anything even DC and AC in some
cases the SB supplies are switchers.

I need to be careful not to stray too far into (what for me is)

Frequency only affects elect

No, it will be a step down transfermer. Stepping down from 240v mains
to 110v of the power supply. There will also need to be a frequency
adjustment there too, UK

Just look on the adapter. If it says something like "Input: 110-230VAC"
then you're good to go, if it's just "Input: 110VAC" then you'll need
either a replacement or a st
Hi,
I just moved to the UK from the US and have three existing SB3s, of
course all set up for the US. Is the SB3 capable of using the UK
voltage system with just a simple UK to US plug style adapter, or do I
need to get a step-down converter? Even better, is it possible to
order UK power suppli

The CPC Stontronics PSU is "heftier" in that it is bulkier and heavier
than the SB3 PSU.

I know current delivery headroom is good for amps but is it that
necessary on digital

I haven't used them myself but it looks like they have a comprehensive
range of PSUs at reasonable prices.

There have been lots of posts about suitable replacement SB3 PSUs (and
which better the supplied one). Try searching the forums.
I went for the one from Farnell - it's certainly a lot heftier than the

Has anyone had any success in obtaining a UK replacement power supply
for a squeezebox 3. Logitech European Support claim that it is not
available as a spare. Seems to go against European consumer

Very strang
Thanks! Thats great.

My parents are visiting from the UK to the US and wish to buy an SB3. Of
course they would like to buy one here for $300 instead of back in the
UK for GBP220. To do this they need to buy a power supply back in the
UK. Can anyone recommend one? It can be a simple switching supply.
