I think people are expecting to have to drill a hole in the exterior of their case, but the power jack is inside the battery compartment and the battery has to be removed and the battery cover left off to use an external power supply.

I already have a Creek OBH-2 MkII power supply that came with my amp. It's supposed to be a quality 24V supply. Doesn't say on the top if it's a linear one. Would you have any better knowledge if I can use it with the PCII? Figured I (or maybe my father - he's more handy with these

) could do an extension cord out of the correct plug provided with the PCII.

I thought I read that the Creek used an AC/AC adapter, I could be completely wrong but please check your adapter just in case. You need DC output for the Porta.

The Creek OBH-2 should be a fine supply.

It's 24V DC alright. Max 500mA if that matters. Says on the top "stabilised DC supply". Wonder if that's same as regulated. There's a picture of line and three dashes under it if that holds some secret knowledge I don't get. Like "OUTPUT: 24V ----- 500mA max". Make myself sound like a real professional

The OBH-2 is a regulated supply. Easy to confirm this to yourself - just hook a volt meter to the outputs with no load. It should read very close to 24 volts.
From what I've heard the OBH-2 is a decent supply. If you like, I've got a virtually unused Elpac WM080-1950-760 which I'd happily exchange for your OBH-2. From what I've read the OBH-2 has less ripple than the Elpac, so should be a superior power supply. Send me PM if you want to swap

Good news. I posted before checking just to be on the safe side, must have it confused with another psu.

Any other brands that are worth looking at? My Elpac was defective so I"m in search for another one...
