    Thanks for the advice. I've managed to find a place that offers a 16V, 300mA wallwart, which I think should be able to power the Phono Box Se since its power consumption is 16V, 80mA. Or am I wrong on this? But I would like to have a DC psu instead. Is there any info regarding how to...

    So many amps, which one do I need?

    Thanks for the link! It helped alot. But now I think I know what is the question I want to ask. What are the pros and cons of an intergrated amp over the pre/power combination (and vice versa)? Does the sound quaility improve or degrade with one over the other? Thanks again, Mark
