There will be a number of us who have two or more GSP products with two or more PSUs.

Before I started some more serious cable management I suffered from mains hum with PSU cables in close proximity to others, but I have tried to keep my two PSUs away from other devices and as far as practical each other and the problem went away.

I think I recall a forum member running two devices from a Single adapted PSU but cannot trace such a post.

If a dual outlet PSU was available I would be very interested; i.e. two outlet plugs to the devices in my case elevator and revelation.

Possible benefits?
*Less boxes
*Improve cable management
*New sales for Graham!

Would this impact on the sound running two devices from a single PSU? I have no idea but perhaps Graham or the other contributor could advise?

I think there are one or two of us that have this - a PSU1 output lead was modified by John Cadman and I used it to power a Reflex M and a Reflex Era Gold which were only used independently on two turntables. I decided not to do this with the Accession so both that and the Reflex M now have their own PSU1s. One now has the redundant second lead hard-wired into it & if you are ever in my vicinity, you are welcome to swap it with one of your regular PSU1s. (nb: a Majestic could not share a PSU1 with any other GSP device)

I'm not so sure about one of those 'benefits' you mention Richard, if this was very common there could actually be less (PSU1) sales for Graham!

Thanks yes I take your points. I wouldn't be keen on what I perceive as a splitter? But rather two sockets or even a single larger supply if need be.

Would many people buy one, I cannot say - I would dare say some others may at a higher price than current one, if buying two boxes and two psus on day one probably lose out but if buying a single box then adding a second later this may bring scope for sales?

One perhaps for Graham or John to ponder may be. . . . . .

I too have a power supply lead made by John, which powers both my Reflex M and Solo ULDE. There is no sonic downside. As Andrew says the Majestic does need its' own dedicated PSU, but otherwise the PSU1 is quite capable of powering 2 phono stages or phono and Solo.
Just listen, if it sounds good to you, enjoy it.

Great. An interesting read. So to be clear is an elevator (around 8 years old) and revelation m (soon to be accession) a viable option?

The y splitter may be worth considering but had thought of two plugs in to one PSU. Would it be an option to simply really two cables from 1 din connector?
