powering MBLC+extension

[SounDuke]

Hi everyone, I'm stuck in the powering issue. Does anyone tried the solution described on the tutorial (15v to mf module and 15v through 7809 them 7805) with success? I was thinking to buy a 15v 3A wall adapter to power a full MBLC with an extension (16 motorfaders in total)

My own MBLC is powered by a cheap switched PSU (5 EUR). after two years of usage it still works great without failures.

thanks Thorsten, but I already own a toshiba laptop adapter 15V/5A which I presume is ok.

15V through 7812 for motorfaders and then through 7809 to pover the 2 cores is a foolish solution?

It could work

For anyone trying to take the steps exemplified above: The chance you get jitter is 99%. I worked hard to try to get it work, but it is very hard to achieve low jitter when having 15V and regulate it only with few caps and regulators. Even if it's a pain to wait for a lucky strike for a switching psu which is similar to the fortron recommended by Thorsten, it is worth the price!
