Re: Need advise about Power Supply..

Hello Jose,

I agree with Scott. It doesn't appear that this power supply can provide the negative voltage your Aragon requires. Even if it did, I would question whether an industrial PS could supply the smooth, quiet DC a phono stage requires. If you ever read Corey Greenberg's DIY passive pre-amp article in Stereophile, he cautioned not to even attempt to build it if you were going to scrimp on the power supply. It's that important.

How are you with a soldering iron? A supply with your requirements really isn't that difficult to build. I'm going to upgrade the power supply on my McCormack Micro Phono, and have done some homework. Get yourself the Radio Shack "how to" book on power supplies. Then read Corey's DIY passive pre-amp article on Stereophile's web site.

If you don't want to go near the project yourself, I'd at least ask someone here, or on the DIY/Tweak board if they'd be willing to do the job.

You'll end up with better results for less money.
