I've been researching how to improve the wall wort power supply for my Musical Fidelity X-10v3 Tube Buffer and found literally hundreds of positive comments about the "Little Pinkie v3i PSU". handmade by hobbyist Mike Grierson in his workshop in Scotland. The Little Pinkie is designed specifically to provide clean power to MF "X Series" products.
(http://www.rock-grotto.co.uk/pinkiepsu.htm)
Little Pinkie v3i PSU
-- with Top quality DELTRON Pro 3 pin chassis mount DIN female socket (normally hardwired, a £10 upcharge)
-- with BLACK Evolution Pro OFC cable terminated at either end with 3 Pin Neutrik metal bodied DIN plugs
£100 for the Little Pinkie + £10 chassis mount female DIN + £20 Shipping to USA Shipping Address: = £130 (exchanged to $218.71 USD on 09/06/09)
Producer Mike Grierson shared, "Unlike the MF X-PSU V3 the Little Pinkie has internal fusing, Class X2 EVOX across the line filtering and an MOV anti surge device which ensures the voltage to the transformer remains constant.... it's not just a "transformer in a box" like the X-PSU V3..... so cryogenic cables are really not required "
Had I found the Musical Fidelity X-PSU-V3 (about $250 used and scarce as hen's teeth), I had become convinced for the need to then find the ($179 USD new / $125 USD used) Revelation Audio Labs Cryo-Silver Reference Power Cable said to be a "Must Have" to make the Musical Fidelity X-PSU-V3 sing.
The Little Pinkie should deliver what is said to be superior performance for about $150 less.
