Re: AC/DC variable voltage adaptor for Noctua NF-S12A ULN fan

Curious George,
I've used a Noctua fan for years to cool both a Bada power and h/amp, very successfully. In the 50s white papers stated categorically that lowering operating temps. for caps and resistors by 10C effectively doubled their life. The idea was mooted by a Dutch friend of mine and a useful by-product was that the sound (we both had the same Bada h/amp) improved, not by a lot but it was noticeable.

I've just bought a Parasound Zamp and if it is used in a restricted space they also sell...

Hi,
I'm hoping someone knowledgeable can point me to the right adaptor to use the Noctua fan as cooler for 2 pieces of audio gear - a Dark Voice 336SE and a Parasound Zamp.

Both produce a lot of heat and both the components and the sound benefit from cooling - passive cooling is a joke that so many in the audio world refuse to let go of.

I have a Maplin AC/DC adaptor that I bought years ago and that has a 3V-12V slider control . it seems to be malfunctioning and I do need 2 adaptors.

Nowhere can I see this type of adaptor anymore. The amp sits...

Khron,
I joined this forum some years ago thinking it might be very useful if I wanted sound advice on what I needed equipment wise in transferring my LPs to a digital format, life or rather illness got in the way,until now.

I saw this thread and found it interesting and not surprising that PSU cap changes make a difference.

Also noted your scepticism about audiophile/fool caps. there is a lot of b/s in the audio world and incredibly a complete disregard of sound science from way back.

Coupling...
