Corda Move AC adaptor

[anadin]

Omg I forgot to add the DC Adaptor I just purchased for £14-99.

£529.98!!!!!

you'll love the corda move -- i'm enjoying it as i type. it will work well the the senns -- sounds great with my 600s.

you can power it with batteries when you're using your ipod and on the go.

you can also power it via usb when your computer is a source.

i use mine in the office, so i prefer the power supply.

That sounds very reassuring, I can't wait until my Corda Move arrives, Jan only shipped it yesterday, he said that it shouldn't take much more than 4 days to arrive, germany to england is a pretty short trip

hi,
couple of quick questions,
does the ac adapter need to be positive or negative polarity to ground?
what mA's are best?
is 12+ VDC okay? like 12.2 - 12.5 ? or does it have to be 12 and below?
how do i tell if an adapter is regulated?
thx!

yeah, i wonder too how to tell if an ac/dc adaptor is regulated. So far i bought a SOGO Universal AC/DC Adapter model SS-45 witch is nowhere to be found on the main website (i had a long time to search) and this bitch makes hissing noises when plugged at 12 volts output. (they dissapear at 9 volts)

I only managed to find Regulated Switching Power supplies which are discouraged here.

They range from 250mA to 5A but are non-linear I guess. The Linear ones starts from 5A and is a huge power supply and way too bulky to power the Move which is 10% of its size.

Hi,
is it okay to use a 12 volt 2A adapter with the MOve? I got this with the iBasso D1. anyone know? i hear people use 12v 500mAh so i wasn't sure and didnt want to fry my Move!
thx!

The Move will only draw as much amperage as it needs. However, measure the voltage to make sure the polarity is correct and that the voltage is less than 13V. Many AC adapters that are labeled 12V put our considerably more voltage. If the voltage is too great, you will fry your Move.

My D1 adapter measure 12.17vdc when not under load. That should be just fine for the Move.

I purchased a Jameco regulated 12v charger and an extra tip that fits the Move; the total cost was about $15.00, but does require a simple solder job to change the tip to the one that fits the Move.

You can find the Jameco part number on about page 5 of the Move thread.

Will using an adapter which has modular universal tips affect the voltage output?

Not in any meaningful way. The different tips *could* have slightly different resistances and Ohm's Law says that would affect voltage/current. Again, we are talking verrrry small differences.

Okay... thanks. Good to know. They only seem to sell the switching type regulated PS here and not the linear type.
