Curiously, May from SOtM has advised me that the 12v tX-USBultra and sMS-200Ultra work well if powered with 9v. I have this with my sPS-500 set to 9v, and yes, it works fine. Very strange!
Sorry, I have little knowledge on the LPS-1. I saw that some people tried that but I guess they must have the low voltage setting on the SOtM products.
Anyway, I converting the SOtM units from 9V to 12V is just removing a jumper. That probably engages or disengages and additional voltage regulator and burns voltage as heat. The units perhaps are optimised 9V. Apparently, Mr.Lee from SOtM suggested so. I read that at least one person found the original SMS-200 better on 12V but cannot recall any comparison on either the SMS-200ultra or the tx-USBultra.
What do you hear? Any differences?
