Actaully, $1500 for the empeg is money well spent. $38 for the power supply and shipping to the US is a waste. Empeg may sell that power supply but there is nothing magic about it.

You may have a point about the power supply itself. And indeed I do appreciate your research to find a cheaper alternative. But I paid $1500 for an empeg not because it was a good value, but because it was a kick-ass piece of bleeding-edge technology, and I suspect most others have done the same... that's where I was coming from when I was making my point.

(I deleted most of the rest of my rambling because I decided I was being argumentative just for the sake of it. :-)

Anyway, I do have a serious question: What is the purpose of this ferrite bead that you mentioned? I know what it is, I just don't know what it does.
