blown power supply

[artikulate]

Hello all,

Had my system running 24/7 to run in new dynamic power supply on my unidisk 1.1. Had a new dynamik in my KK1 as well but it was faulty so put the old supply in while waiting for new supply--when the dynamik was first fitted in KK dealer and I noticed a burnt spot and leakage (from a cap maybe) on the old power supply--well the old power supply went while I was running in dynamik on unidisk---my question is when the power supply went out could it possibly damage any other equipment ie. speakers (Klimax 350a)---wont be able to tell until the KK is fitted with new dynamik. Thanks for your input guys!!!

This burn spot is a common phenomenom, it is caused by a regulator running hot, it was cured by having a heat sink fitted on later PSU.
This has to date never caused any problems.
Your 350s should be O.K. unless they suffered a high powered loud surge, I would bet they will be fine.

Thanks for the info Anthony---that puts me at ease for the time being until I can test the speakers!!!!

I had my KK upgraded a few days ago, and this is how the original power supply looked:

top view
underside

My KK is less than 1 year old, BTW.

Hi JW,

Pretty much how mine looked---I only needed to last another week opr two while waiting for dynamik---bummer---hope all my other stuff is ok or that means more delays before I can enjoy music.

Fingers crossed, but I'd be surprised if you had any damage to your other gear.

And just to be clear, my old PSU didn't fail, it only looks a bit rough round the edges

My KK PSU looked the same.
Had been like that for years...
My dealer told me he seen burned PSU's in various low voltage PSU products. Same basic design?

Anyway, feels good to have a new Dynamik PSU installed.
