Hi,
I've just come off the phone with a US dealer. He tells me there's a new 'power supply efficiency' law coming in, banning most wall-warts and banning any PSU with an efficiency rating below a certain percentage. Can anyone give me a link on this?
From what I understand, the legislation doesn't give a hoot about the other circuitry's efficiency, so you can still have a dirty great class A amp, but its PSU has to be over a certain efficiency...
Please tell me about this. Are all wall-warts banned? The reason I was told WWs were banned was because they don't have an ON / OFF switch.
