There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
So in the last few months I've been buying these Pyramid / Pyle 12vdc linear power supplies, and rewiring all my low-voltage devices using these supplies as the source. At 6 amps, I have found I can easily run multiple small 12v devices from a single supply. I simply make up cables with inline fuses for safety and terminate according to the needs of the device I'm running.
This is a TOTALLY LINEAR ("analog") power supply and doesn't generate ANY noise. It's built using easily sourced replacement parts, clearly marked for part number etc., and the manual comes with a full schematic. Build quality is excellent.
I now have 7 of these supplies all over my radio room and 100% of my "wall wart" noise problems are gone.
Happy to rate this supply a full 5 stars for being exactly what it's advertised to be, and for doing a great job.

Update - 3 1/2 years later of continuous use and the power supply is still going strong. I highly recommend it.
