1.5A 9VDC supply, $6.95!

RTFMessage! This is a DC power supply (about a hundred of 'em - you
could have linked to the one you thought was the right one). A DC power
supply won't power a device that expects an AC input, at least not with
considerable modification.

I can't say offhand how the numbers work out, but I have two of them running
off a (10V at 1.2A) Triad FP10-1200 flatpack transformer, along with some
crossover electronics that probably take a hundred mA. The Triads are pretty
conservatively rated, they fit into a 1U case, but I think the 1.2A is the
largest one available.

If I was looking for 9 or 10 volts at 1.5A, I would look at the Amveco
(formerly Talema) toroids.

I used to buy standard 12V Xfmrs, and removed secondary turns to whatever I needed. Costly to buy non-standard voltages, 18V CT makes more sense.

Switchers are dead cheap these days, and frankly they are pretty much
as clean as linears.


Fortunately or unfortunately, the RNC uses a trick supply to generate +/-15V
from an unreferenced AC input. So it really does need 60 Hz going in.

I'm not big fan of switchers; it's possible to make them quiet, or reliable,
or cheap, but I am not sure you can do all three. But sometimes you need
density and there's no way around it.
