Uhm...I know amps run off power supplies. Thanks for the condescending tone.

Why would anyone want TWO wall warts running their balanced amp? I sure wouldn't. I assumed this would be self-evident. The question is, how do you avoid this?

don't use any wall warts? they make these things called transformers that can be used too.

By powering both PPA's from the same wall wart.

Yes, I asked about a toroidal a ways back. So that is how you would get around wall warts? Can a single transformer power two boards?

Maybe this is basic information to you all but I'm just trying to ask some questions. I never encountered all this "let's be sarcastic to the noob" here, even two years ago when I didn't know anything.

So great to be back...

it's one way. Batteries are another.

it's possible, but you'd have to give a specific example of a transformer and a specific example of "boards"

Two wall-warts or two PSU's powering two separate amp sections would be a dual mono setup, which could be used for balanced or speaker-level audio.
