You need a 12V- power supply. Those can be 100V-240V, and come in all shapes of plugs. (The 15V- can be iffy if amps too high.)

PSU brand can vary on factors. What I have now is a specific APD. Outcome is 12V- power with a power switch, exactly what this specific TBC needs and wants..

It's not a "secret" but rather the fact that that photos show/prove nothing. It's completely about the performance, non-visual aspects.

If you want to see random photo of what an APD power supply looks like, use Google Image search.

The caveats of AVT-8710 TBC PSUs is something I only know from years of experience, and it's not easy to teach. Just trying to teach it would take a verbose novel, which is not something I have time to write. Even EEs don't know all the gotchas of this exact TBC (been there, done that).

$22 for the PSU is literally costs rounded up. Maybe some coins in profit, whoop-de-doo.

EDIT: Actually, it's not even costs individually. Some of these items require buying in 5-packs, so my $22 cost is actually item/5, cheaper than one-off buying (but noting that one item in the kit is only sold in 2-packs or 5-packs).

I don't play the "I nEeD pIcTuRes!" game. I'm not some Facebook/etc random nobody. That's always a person trying to pump me for information, no intention of buying my gear (even when it's for costs, FFS!), not understanding (sometimes stubbornly) that (again!) images/photos prove nothing.

If anybody want to find a PSU themselves, then nothing more I can do for them.

Certain TBCs are temperamental. The wrong PSU = failed TBC, sometimes irreparable. The AVT-8710 have the added bonus of not having a power switch, and the dangers that entails, thus needing to be addressed.

For some people, "finding my own" works out, often because of dumb luck.
For others, it's FAFO.

I think, in another thread, you mentioned being an "audio guy". For this TBC, if all the parts are correct, polarity reversal cables are your friend. (If the wrong parts, keep a fire extinguisher nearby.)

I have some input 100-240V output 12V 800 or 1000mAh adapters I'll just reverse polarity inside adapter and install inline power switch.

But I am wondering why did they put default 15V 600mAh then if it can be iffy ?

Read my statement again. You answered your own question.

Ok if amp is too high, but what if it's a bit more like 800 or original 600, that would be ok ?

Or you still rather recommend 12V with more amps instead of 15V whatever amp ?

You could just try it and see how it goes.

I have no problem in testing it when it arrives but until it does he said he did all kind of tests with that tbc, so I assume he test that too. So he can enlighten us for some knowledge.

I still think the best bet would be to just buy the PSU from LS. It’s your choice though. Hopefully it goes well for you.

But I have a lot of 12V adapters at home... doesn't make sense to buy it from him. I just don't have one with 60Hz all EU are 50Hz, don't know if that will make any problem.
Just need reverse polarity and install inline power switch. But it won't hurt to know if he test it with 15V to know the stuff I asked.

I’m using an OEM PSU and they are known to fail. If mine fails tomorrow then I am going to LS because to me it’s not worth the risk to save that little and potentially mess up an item that is worth as much as a recommended TBC. Then if I have to trouble shoot I know that it is an unknown variable. 20 bucks just isn’t worth the time I would spend thinking is this the issue? That’s just my point of view on it.

Maybe you know more about all of that though and it will work out. Good luck.

It won't be my first adapter to service or reverse polarity or install power switch on it. I was just eager to know his experience with all that voltages and amps.

If the shipping cost is a little out of reach for you right now, I would just wait until you have the money saved up. The last thing I would wanna do is ruin a rare recommended TBC.

Just for your edification, according to easyship.com, a 0.5lb package from California to Croatia would cost about $20 with tracking. And I'm sure it's less than 0.5lb. so you'll probably be in it for $40 tops.

I'll see when unit arrives. I still don't have it. I will probably get adapter from LS if he will have one then, but need to get unit first.
