the parts are:
162996 TRANS,WALL,REG,12VDC/500mA,F2 1 x 13.14 71192 PLUG,DC,PWR,FEM,1.3mmX3.5m 1 x .95

add tax + s/h

The PS measured 12.004vdc so it works fine for the Move. The plug fits perfectly.



Recap of earlier posting with costs.

Great! Thanks for letting us know.

What are other people seeing w/r/t battery life in high current mode?

Skylab, a bit off topic but what are you using to band the yotank and move together? The velcro straps I'm using aren't cutting it. Thx.

Just cheap o-rings I got at the hardware store

They work great.

Received my Move yesterday. Shipping took 10 days to Australia.

It looks great, feels solid and it sounds good too

For those in AU interested in a power adaptor for it, there is a suitable multi-voltage adaptor with the right size plug at DSE (Model M9927).

Gain should be set to low, yes. Contrary to earlier posts, gain does NOT get set to high when an external PSU is used.



Thanks for the clarification. I am now on low-gain, with vol. at 11 instead of previous 9. Better control on the volume, IMO

Hey thanks for the info ElDanno i'm thinking of getting it to Aus as well. Sorry if this is out of the subject but did you have any problem with the customs for this item??

Hello all, I’m late consulting this thread but I’ve ordered my Move yesterday and I wonder if anyone could comment on the suitability of the Move with the K701’s.

I asked Jan what is the output power of the Move because I can’t seem to find this info on the Meier site. Jan simply told me there is plenty. And don’t worry.

If anyone has listened to the 701’s with the Move I would like t hear your thoughts.

Does anyone know the output power of the Move?

Thanks,
OD

The output of Move is really like what Jan's said, plenty of them. At default in low gain mode it can even drive my BeyerDynamic DT880 250 ohm very great by turn the volume to about 1/3 level. I am not surprised it can easily to drive those 600 ohm cans as well.

I am sure he knows and to say plenty is odd. I can understand why you would want to know what the power out is and it is not unreasonable to ask. The amp looks very interesting and it is nice to have one with a dac built in. I wish someone would come out with one that also had an optical in as it is so easy to implement and works great with portable CD players that have optical.

Maybe its not the place to ask but as some questions
were asked before about adapters in this thread. I have a switchable adapter hanging around but I don't know if its regulated or not. Are all the adapters with switchable output regulated? The answer may help people who are in search of an adapter for their corda moves.

Thank you

By switchable do you mean from 110 to 220 AC or in voltage out? In either case no you can not assume that they are regulated and many are not. The voltage may state for expample, 7.5 volts, but if unregulated it depends upon the load as to where it really settles as it could pull down to 7.5 or it could stay at 12 volts or some other number depending upon the current demand of the component. Normally a regulated supply will state that it is regulated but all you have to do is use a volt meter and check the voltage out to determine if it is regulated or not while plugged into the wall but not into the device would be used for.
