DIY battery powered NAIM power supplies anyone ?

[james]

I found this ..

https://www.teddypardo.com/powersup ... .html

This is an ad for a clone of the NAIM Supercap ..

The relevant bit is ..


"...
Specifications


Power output: 13x24V, 2x13V

Mains Supply: 110-120V or 220-240V

Dimensions: 2x 24x16x6 cm

TeddySuperCap - Replaces Naim SuperCap
..."

So you need thirteen 24V (regulated) outputs.

that looks more like 13 X 24v regulators that rather unusual
what are they all for?
likely a method to stop the spread of ps noise,

that connector cable sure is pricey

Do you honestly think you are going to come up with anything better than a Naim, Avondale or Terry Pardo power supply?

If it's just for fun we'll go ahead,but otherwise this is a well worn path.

The lifepo4 supply would tear all of the above a new arsehole
End off

I'm not into mediocre

What exactly do you think is in these power supply units?
Besides 400% markup
Ordinary stuff in a nice box

Well if you can come up with one at 25% of the price of a TP supply that sounds better, I'll take my hat off to you sir.

Maybe eating the hat would be more appropriate John at 25% of the price. Doffing if better and costing similar.?

nope wont be cheap, no free lunch here the parts could run into bout 800e, plus your time

naim seem to have large caps on the trafo secondaries feeding a bunch of regulators most of the the psu noise will collect there

in the lifepo4 supply it has very low impedance circa <10 mohm an insane amount of reserved power providing stability any noise imposed on it will be like throwing buns at a bear, your not gonna have any effect,,,,,,
severe overkill but it works :)

my guess a lot of the methodology is to have another product to sell while deterring counterfeits

What have Naim power supplies got to do with me? I prefer the other two box merchants Cyrus -)

Maybe this is a bit off topic but here are some nice pictures of replacements for NAIM PSUs:

Thanks for all the comments/suggestions .. I looked at the various websites and I can see its a lot harder than what I could do.
