What is the maximum amperage on the 15 volt side for the Pro-ject Power Box ds2 Sources

Millercarbon, What the heck are you talking about?  Who wants to get 100A out of a wallwart?  Furthermore, not all wallwarts are simple transformers; some contain rectified power supplies and can directly deliver DC voltage; I suspect that is the type we are talking about, unless I too have misunderstood the OP.


Thanks to oldhvymec, we now know that the OP is off base a bit, as he needs 18VDC (and ~0.5A) into the TT, not 15V, just to begin with.  And any transformer, whether its part of an AC or a rectified DC supply, will get warmer than normal, even hot, if it's overtaxed.  But one can't ask a 15VDC supply to deliver 18VDC.

I would first of all like to thank everyone for their contributions to my thread it has truly been entertaining and extremely informative. Actually thru it all NO ONE has answered the root question. imhififan has actually come the closest to addressing the issue.  Yes imhififan, the Power Box RS UNI TT (15V/2A) will DEFINATELY work for my turntable because my turntable is (15V/1.6A) but notice that the spec for this unit includes a value for the amps whereas the Power Box DS2 Sources only indicates 15V. This is the issue in a nutshell. My turntable apparently requires that additional 1.6A that the DS2 either does not list in the specs or is incapable of accommodating. This is where it is so simple, 15V/1.6A is greater than 15V.  Period! My question imhififan, is can I get that unit in the states because Henley Audio is in the U.K. I believe this will remedy my problem and like Millercarbon suggested, it's probably NOT a good idea to have the DS2 power Supply run my phono pre amp and the turntable. Again had I not started this thread I would not have learned that. So again to  All, THANK YOU. Stay safe Stay well, Stay home and listen to tunes.
Good Day.

Hey Robert I could not agree with you more, you are spot on about Miller and imhififan. My TT is the EAT (European Audio Team) C-Major. My phono pre amp is the pro-ject phono box ultra 500 and yes I do own the Power Box DS2 Sources but I only have the phono pre amp connected to it as I have never been comfortable with the fact that the power supply has no amperage rating just voltage. The phono pre amp is not the issue, it's the turntable that i'm wrestling with. The turntable requires 15VDC/1.6A. And no the TT will not work with an 18V power supply, the owners manual even states that and warns against general voltage issues. The issue resides with the power supply not having or not listing in the specs the required Amperage, that's it in a nutshell. (see my previous post) 

So what is it or what was it that requires 18V/~0.5A, per oldhvymec's post?  He refers to "it", and I thought for sure he was referring to the TT.  Now I am just curious.
