Any DIY electronics gurus here? In need of power supply...

[Dimitrios]

I'm looking for a switched power supply, similar to what's available in some home audio receivers which allow you to plug another component into the amp, letting it power on when the amp is as well.

I've Googled the hell out of it, with just a few light leads...I'll call Parts Express tomorrow, but if anyone has a lead, that'd be great.

What about a good old relay or a power inverter??

 

[Dimitrios]

Yeah, I've been thinking about that too as an option. I'm going for an "OEM" look; else I may build my own P/S and get the IEC connectors separately.

How about this?

Just need a 12 volt trigger feed to it, which they also have or if the component you are using has a trigger output you can wire right to it.

Nice; thanks for that...puts me on a better track. I think something like this may be best: http://www.nilesaudio.com/product.php?prodID=CS12V&recordID=Source%20Switching%20Systems&categoryID=Automated%20Switching%20Systems&catcdID=10&prdcdID=FG01173

If you are in the Los Angeles area and need one let me know and I can order it. If not you can find tons of home A/V stores that carry Niles and get it from them, no use paying for shipping when you don't have to.
