In Reply to: 9VAC Mains Adapter for UK posted by Sound Ranger on November 13, 2004 at 16:40:28:
Are you sure you need a 3.4 amp adapter? According to their web sites, the Art DI/O takes 800mA, and the Super DAC 500mA (at 9V ac).You can buy 1A adapters from the common electronic component suppliers, such as
http://www.rapidelectronics.co.uk (9V 1A AC PSU 2.1mm, 85-1662 £4.95)
http://rswww.com
http://www.maplin.co.uk/
http://custom1.farnell.com/cpc/These adapters are also used with many common keyboards, so you might also find one at a pro music shop, such as
http://www.dv247.com
http://www.academyofsound.com/
http://www.guitarampkeyboard.com
and many others (see Sound on Sound magazine for adverts)If you really want higher current and can use a soldering iron and a few simple tools, just buy a bare 240V-9V transformer from one of the component suppliers listed above, and a plastic case, and wire it up yourself.
Hope this helps

That is the OEM spec. But many users find that fitting an PSU with 3.4 amp or higher improve sound quality.
No luck with Maplins, RS, Farnell, Rapid, CPS, Crickewood, etc.
They all supply adaptors with 9V AC output of less than 1200 mAIf I can't find one off the shelf, I can get a toroidal tranny such as 50VA with 2 x 9VAC at 2.78 amps from Maplins (VS14Q). But I have seen caps and resistors inside wallwarts. Don't know what they are or how to build one.
