We are finishing up the matching AC•15 MKII Upgrade Power Supply for our PEQ•MKII Phono Preamp.

It uses a 35VA encapsulated toroid transformer, has AC line filtering, 120~240V input selection, dual 15VAC outputs with dual common-mode choke output filtering. Looks are the same as VDC but no LED and uses a 7 pin DIN connector for output. Hope to ship around May 1st.
Cost will be $299

Hi Dusty,

Congratulations on the new phono stage.  Glad to see it can take 240 voltage for overseas customers.

Cheers Rod

The supplied AC adapter is 120V only, but adding the AC•15 MKII improves perfomance and allows for 220~240V mains.
The custom transformer has dedicated output windings for L & R channels to take advantage of the dual-mono circuit design.
Production transformers and circuit boards should arrive next week. I just finished the front/rear panel designs & artwork... probably 4-6 weeks from shipping production units.
