well... they fit mine!.. and you saw confirmation in that other post I linked to... These dimension are taken from the wiki. http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/Hardware_comparison Unless they have changed the spec of the socket since mine was made (I have a first run prodution unit, which replaced a beta unit) - but that seems unlikely as then the supplies wouldn't work. This supply of yours... does the led stay lit when not connected to the Touch? - the flicker could only be caused by a (temporary) short circuit in that case, as the plug is inserted into the socket... ************************************************************************* I presume your supply is capable of delivering the requisite 3 amps @ 5v? ************************************************************************* Maybe a stupid question, but presumably your Touch still works OK with the stock supply? There's only 2 sorts of connector with an OD of 5.5mm: pin=2.1mm pin=2.5mm obviously a 2.5mm pin socket won't physically accept a 2.1mm plug. a 2.1mm socket will accept a 2.5 plug, but will have intermittant contact (which can be "fixed" by a small piece of aluminium foil in the socket..) -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
