Hi again.

I am in the UK and have been scouring the web in search of a 12V AC 20VA Power Supply (specifications of the X-PSU) with very little luck but have found something which will get all you Americans Whooping with Joy!!!

Exactly the same power specs as the musical fidelity X-PSU and at a fraction of the cost...... $8 to be precise! yep.. $8 !!

I I were in the USA I'd order one of these babys, take it to bits, build a box to house it in, buy a switch so it can be turned on and off and then connect the lead from the standard X-cans wallwart to its output and then I'd connect it to the X - cans......

If only I were in the USA

This seems to be a really great find considering it's the identical specification to the X-PSU. Oh, you want to go and have a look??? I nearly forgot

Here you go folks.. and I hope this sorts out your PS problems:

Scroll down and look for Model number: Model T1220

If this works then please let me know

The link doesn't work for me.

the link wasn't cut and pasting but if you visit this site and hunt about for the 12v / 20va tramsformer you'll find it.

Wow, cheap!
But this really is just a replacement wallwart, right? It isn't meant to have the tricky conditioning/regulating properties of the x-psu (and perhaps that other very inexpensive power source mentioned in another thread--didn't it have a large toroid?). One would also need to diy connections to the screw terminals, though that is so easy even a klutz like me could do it.

Yep,

Certainly is a good price and I see it weighs nearly 1.5 pounds so it must be a pretty big adaptor.

I haven't got a clue about conditioning or regulating as nobody here seems to have posted a picture of the "innards" of the X-PSU.

It would be interesting to find out just exactly what does live inside the X-PSU case.

I wish somebody would get a hex key and slide the circuit out and take a pic then I could start going into production knocking copies out for £50 a go

Seriously though, I'm surprised that "nobody" knows what goes on inside an X-PSU? I've only had my X-Can for 5 days and already I've been under the bonnet and have got my parts list

If anyone here want's to lend me their X-PSU I will slide the board out and get a parts list and draw up a circuit diagram and then get on the first plane to Brazil and spend my remaining years avoiding interpol and the FBI

Okay, I am a little lost are those actual power supplies that might work with the X-CAN or not. If they aren't, are there any less expensive alternatives to X-PSU option.

Peter, I think this item is more of a replacement for the x-can wallwart. There is another thread about a cheap regulated power source that would be more of a replacement for the x-psu, though I don't think anyone claimed that it did quite as much for the x-cans as the x-psu. I suppose there is a continuum from the most marginal wallwarts up to the fanciest power supplies.
