That depends a LOT on which canned converter you decide to buy, if you only go after price, or W/mm³ capacity, then certainly yes. But for a one-off application like this, any money saved on a cheap model is easily lost many times over in the trouble it will cause. But returning to the original post: Has anybody ever characterized how much difference it makes to use two different PSU's for heater vs. electronics sides of telecom Rb's ?
