I see your point. Here's my (not necessarily valid) philosophy:

This is walking a fine line. I believe we should avoid posting exact links to other power supplies because we don't want to steal business away from Empeg. The whole idea is: If you've already got one you can scrounge, great, more power to ya, here's the specs. But if you're going to be actually placing an order for one (i.e, you don't want to do any scrounging work for yourself and you want it handed to you on a silver platter), then here's the official item that's warrantied by Empeg which is certain to work perfectly and won't be questionable in any way.

Sure, we could link to Radio Shack's site with a part number or something. But that'd be blatantly taking away from Empeg's business.

There's other tips on this BBS which also could be construed as taking away from Empeg's business. Hard disk upgrades, for example. But we still post that information because we know folks are gonna try it anyhow and we might as well tell 'em the right way to do it. So it is with the power supplies. I scrounged three completely different power supplies and saved some money in the process. Yes, I'm a cheapskate. But being a cheapskate should require a little work on my part, right?
