Breeze Audio LPSU
HDPlex 100W LPSU
SMPS wallwart for powering the TPLink fiber to ethernet converter
3-way power distributor
2 AC power cables
The PH PSU is now connected directly to the PS Audio Power Plant and it's powering the microRendu, Mutec MC-3+ USB, DSPeaker Anti-Mode Dual Core 2.0 and the fiber optic ethernet converter. All four rails in use!
So I also modded my Mutec today and removed the internal SMPS and IEC inlet. One of the DC power leads that came with the PH is now soldered directly to the mainboard power input of the original internal PSU. This has taken me quite some time BTW, To remove and desolder the SMPS the entire board had to be removed from the chassis and thus I had to also remove all 10 nuts from the BNC connectors etc. etc. It also took me a lot of time to figure out how to remove the push lever of the female XLR receptor. Without this there would be no way to get the board out. Luckily I found a manual otherwise I would have never figured it out. http://www.neutrik.com/zoolu-website/med...es+chassis
This change is fully reversible should this ever be necessary.
The parts removed: (these look big BTW in this picture but this tiny PSU board measures only 6.8x4.7cm!)
All done now, time to enjoy the work! (though I already listened an hour or two just now )
