Gieseler Audio Posted January 31, 2016 Author Share Posted January 31, 2016 Hi Adam, yes my Triple PSU should be fine to run those devices. I would need full tech specs of the three devices including connector size/polarity & current/voltage requirements so I could pre configure everything first. PM me the info & I'll confirm it is all workable. The Teddy Pardo PSU's are excellent so it is strange that it did not work with the Mini PC. You definitely need to make sure the polarity is correct first though. Greg - great to know the new psu has improved things. Cheers Clay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amisty Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Hello, Going to put it straight out their! Has anyone noticed or will there be an improvement over the original PSU that comes with the normal version of the Klein DAC? cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Spyne~ Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 This has been mentioned before, several times throughout the Gieseler threads...the Klein DAC runs off AC power. Clay's LPSU outputs DC power. The two are not compatible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jventer Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 IMO we need to flesh this out a bit. AFAIU The Klein DAC has its own power supply. Clay does not want to stuff around with 220 to 240V so he uses an external power supply. This plugs into the normal supply and then feeds the DAC whatever it needs in AC. The power supply he does work on the same principle. There is a power pack that woks on normal power and then feeds the power supply some AC volts. The power supply then cleans it up etc etc etc and then can feed other equipment DC power. His Klein DAC is not designed to work from his power supply. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petersv Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 (edited) Just purchased Tarkan's Gieseler LPS and using it with a Wyred4Sound Remedy... holly crap did it make a difference! Almost as much as the Remedy itself (between a Sonos Connect and an Audiolab MDAC).. didnt ever think that a PSU could ever have this much impact on audio quality, but it is massive... best price/sq improvement ratio ever Edited April 4, 2016 by petersv 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewaves Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Hi Clay - I now have my revised PSU so as soon as I can get the new system up and running I'll let you know what kind of improvement we see! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gieseler Audio Posted April 6, 2016 Author Share Posted April 6, 2016 Hi Gareth, it will take a little while for the new caps to run in a bit but it will certainly be interesting to see if you notice a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gieseler Audio Posted April 18, 2016 Author Share Posted April 18, 2016 No a good quality external transformer should be fairly quiet, usually just a dull buzz when next to your ear., Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gieseler Audio Posted April 18, 2016 Author Share Posted April 18, 2016 (edited) Is it the Pro-ject RPM 3Carbon? I have just downloaded the specifications on that one & it saying the PSU is 15v .8A DC. (not AC) http://decibelhifi.com.au/pro-ject-rpm-3-carbon-turntable/ I actually manufacture a low noise DC output PSU that meets that specification & would be an Ideal upgrade over the original. Being a turntable It is hard to say just how much of a difference you would notice though. Maybe just recheck your current PSU/plug-pack & see if the output is AC or DC. Also the exact model of the turntable would be a help. Edited April 18, 2016 by Gieseler Audio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amisty Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 mines the old model Pro-ject Debut carbon which has AC the new model uses DC power pack. I have this one http://www.projectaudio.com.au/collections/spare-parts/products/replacement-ac-power-supply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gieseler Audio Posted April 18, 2016 Author Share Posted April 18, 2016 A ha that explains it perfectly. Yes maybe just buy another original. I don't know anyone who supplies a better type external 16v transformer in a box. The audiophile stuff is all DC out so unsuitable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strykerhawk Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Just received mine in the mail today. All hooked up, waiting a bit before I post any comments. I must say the unit is extremely well put together and the adapter box is HUGE!! It is now part of my digital front end. FiiO X5 II, hooked up to a FiiO K5 headphone amp/dock. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Got the Gieseler PSU running with my Auralic Mini and I must say the improvement in SQ is quite noticeable. Increased clarity for sure! very happy with the sound, a great upgrade. Thanks Clay! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stereonut Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 I'm another very happy Gieseler PSU owner. Just received mine for an Acoustic Revive R-888. There was an immediate improvement followed by more after a day or so powered up. I have to thank Clay for the excellent service and advice. The whole thing, from initial interest to working up a few special needs to getting it across Australia took less than a week. It doesn't get better than that!

vegan Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 I just ordered one of Clay's LPS' to run an ultraRendu. I'll be using it in Europe (220V). A couple questions come to mind: 1. Can I feed the LPS with the SMPS UpTone sent me for the Regen? (22W/7.5V/2.93A) 2. If it does work, would there still be a reason to buy something better? (I understand the SMPS isn't the worst in kicking noise back into the mains.) ...Shame that I then wouldn't be able to try running both together. I won't be able to try until I get back to Europe later in January. I ask in case I need to order something else. I'm looking forward to getting back to Europe and setting all this up.

Gieseler Audio Posted December 9, 2017 Author Share Posted December 9, 2017 (edited) Just clarifying 1. you want to power my LPS with the UpTone SMPS that came with the Regen? No that won't work as my LPS needs a 9v AC input. The UpTone SMPS has a DC output so it is not suitable. Also just checking on your LPS order - when was that sent? Thanks Edited December 9, 2017 by Gieseler Audio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegan Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Ah, silly me! I think your LPS has already arrived in Freo. I am currently travelling on the east coast. So I won't be able to pick it up for another month.. and won't be able to use it until the end of January. Clay - could you recommend something for me? i thought there might be one people have had good results with... perhaps one that doesn't kick much junk back into the mains. I'd be much obliged! ?

Gieseler Audio Posted December 11, 2017 Author Share Posted December 11, 2017 Hi Luke, I think one of the better SMPS out there is the iFi Audio one. https://ifi-audio.com/portfolio-view/accessory-ipower/ Cheers Clay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegan Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Thanks Clay! has anyone used the iPower with Clay's LPS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegan Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 (edited) Another follow up for Clay - if I may... iFi's iPower only seems to come as AC/DC adapters. Unless I missed something? looking for AC/AC adapters seems much harder to source... much less a 'quality' one. One with an EU plug that I'm looking at is this: (.. edit - found one that looks better..) Very nice regulation Low-disturbance noise, but more heavy Very low-ripple and noise Short-circuit Thermal cutoff capability Customized requirements are accepted Larger size than switching power supply Used for antennas, fans, radios, video, toys, aquariums, desk lamps and LED lamps High-efficiency: consumption, meets US Energy Star, CEC, AS, MEPS, EUP and ERP Lightweight and convenient plug in IP20 rating High-reliability Low-temperature Specifications Not what you’re looking for? Select the attributes you require, then click the button below Output Voltage 9 V ac Output Current 1.5A Plug Type 2-Pin Euro Power Rating 14W Ripple And Noise 100 Energy Efficiency Level IV Load Regulation ±5 Line Regulation ... ±1% https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/plug-in-power-supply/1391772/ Or perhaps one of these? https://uk.rs-online.com/web/c/power-supplies-transformers/power-supplies-psus/plug-in-power-supply/?searchTerm=Plug In Power Supply 9V ac&h=s&sra=oss&redirect-relevancy-data=636F3D3126696E3D4931384E53656172636847656E65726963266C753D656E266D6D3D6D61746368616C6C7061727469616C26706D3D5E2E2A2426706F3D31333326736E3D592673743D43415443485F414C4C5F44454641554C542673633D592677633D4E4F4E45267573743D506C756720496E20506F77657220537570706C79203956206163267374613D506C756720496E20506F77657220537570706C7920395620616326&dym=plug in power supply "9v ac"&dym="plug in power supply" "9v ac"&dym=plug in power supply 9v ac Clay, would this work? very happy to take suggestions on anything better - from anyone ?
