Default CD player power supply suggestions (non-switching)

Hello Dave - just a question here - the 5v supply is at 1A on the CD
player, and the 12v supply is at 1.5A.


I'd like it to be a 'universal' PSU and another CDP I have states:


5v - 1.4A
12v - 1.3A


Ah - I didn't notice the 'S' in the regulator number. They're 2A?

In which case you'd be better with 6800µF reservoir caps. Everything else
should be ok.

A quick glance at the spec shows a minimum input voltage under load of 8
volts for 5, and 15 for 12.

I expect Jim will be along with a more sophisticated PS arrangement
shortly ;-)
