Subject: Re: [korgpolyex] Re: I need an adapter! where can i find one!!

From: reidar@...
Date: 2005-04-28

When I first got my Poly800 I used whatever power adaptor I could find, and
it was only after I complained about the crap sound to the person I bought
from, that I tried a higher rating adaptor (500ma, I think), and that fixed
the problem.

You definitely need to get another adaptor, and then see if you have any
other problems. And the one I'm using now is just a Tandy-style universal.

the current is 300mA.  i can record the crazy sounds this thing makes
if it will help anyone identify the problem.
thanks
