There are of course commercial units, the better ones going to cost a lot of $$$ on your part. Other than Jalan Pasar, KL, I can't think of anywhere else. If you are good, there are power supply kits available. With a good transformer and casing, it can be built cheaper with better parts, equal or better performance with equivalent commercial units.

Now that you've mentioned it, yeah their products certainly looks the same since I frequent Jalan Pasar when I was still a school boy! Yes good power supply starts with a good AC filtering.. any hint/clue with regards to ebay kits? Something like this? http://cgi.ebay.com/DIY-LM317-Variable-DC-...=item27b273616chttp://cgi.ebay.com/DC-Power-Supply-0-30V-...=item4aa55c2a82This post has been edited by jazzy939: Oct 21 2010, 11:01 AM

You go and survey lah what they have on the shelves.. Little Ghost use them, so I guess they're 'good enough'. I don't as I build all my PSUs.

Show us some pix of the said regulator.

Isolated transformer? Oh really?

I'd say hissing normally does not come from PSU, its more related to your head amp circuits.. could be related to your impedance mismatched..

Here's a good read I picked up:
Some headphones have limited frequency which can limit the amount of hiss you can hear. Few common causes of the hiss/pops are 1) Unregulatered/unfiltered/noisy power to CD player/DAC/amp, 2) unmatched impedance of headphone and inadequate amp (amp can't handle low impedance cans), 3) picking up interference/noise from unshielded or inadequately shiedded interconnect/power cable/headphone cable, just to name a few.

It certainly says 'regulated'! Thanks for the pics.

IF you tried with batteries and there were no hiss, I guess it must be the EKK PSU then..

The ABS plastic will be hard to hack open.. You need a hacksaw and cut around it.. put it in a good metal casing for proper grounding and 'improve' the regulating circuit.. Not that I have not done it before..

How true.. But I am curious on the EKK's regulator part of the circuit..

See if there is a possibility to improve the regulating circuit?

Anything more than the working voltage, in this case 12VDC is ok. So 16V, 25V are useable. QUOTE(santik @ Oct 25 2010, 04:15 PM) ok... but my supply voltage is 12VDC... 16V capacitor should be good enough, isn't it?

Yup. See if that would helps.
