Yeah, that jameco supply requires soldering so it won't work for you. Sorry about that; these power plugs are pretty small.

I think those adaptaplugs are snap-ons. I've never used them but it appears they are the replacement for those monstrosities with all the different connector types hanging off the cable (my 18.5v adventure was one of those types)

RadioShack's adaptor H works well though its OD is slightly smaller (3.4 mm instead of 3.8mm.) No soldering is required for connecting to their PS. You can get it for free if you buy a PS together. Like I mentioned in previous posts, before you buy a PS from Ratshack you might want to check its voltage output in store first.

What's OD?
Also, what's Adapterplug H? I found adapterplug L, but not H.

So, in addition to buying this, what do I need to buy in order to hook up MOVE using AC?

I'm looking to pull the trigger on the Move also. Im just starting my audiophile existance, and this is going to be my first amp. I just reciently picked up an ipod video, 80g, and put rock box on it last night.

Im planning on picking up an ALO cotton dock and i have a pair of koss porgagepro's coming also. I was going to get a pair of SR80's but ive heard so much about the Koss, i figured i can just spend 40 bucks now on a decient set of cans and get a great amp.

Anyone have any ideas or comments for me before i make the purchase?

wow Its been awhile since I have been on headfi

Come and see this

Looks like I'm making a purchase VERY soon.


The big question for me

Has anyone got this working with linux - ubuntu specifically

Regarding the Amperage question for external power on the Move, per Dr. Meier:

Quote:

There really is no maximum current for the supply.

However, supplies that are able to deliver very high current
normally do not regular very well when only very low currents
are drawn.

My suggestion is to use something between 100 and 500 mA.

the soon to be released HeadRoom MicroAmp Portable w/ a built in DAC option that will support USB, Optical and Coaxial. price is a bit steeper than the Corda Move but it's something that I think I am willing to pay.

anyone have a comparison of the Corda Move to the current MicroAmp?

So guys

CORDA MOVE vs. PORTA CORDA MkIII

Is the move worth the $75 difference?

It's really a $10 difference if you compare the pricing of the USB versions (not available anymore on a MkIII). I think it is but the MkIII was no slouch either.
