PS – PLEASE understand, fear and respect AC current before attempting DIY power projects! Death awaits just a tiny stupid mistake away. (I’ve been REALLY lucky at least three times in my life . . . and I’m not generally stupid . . . unless it comes to credit cards . . .and especially women! ;-)
For that very reason I'm going to avoid the totally DIY approach (cool though it is!) and try that Elpac wall-wart. At least that way the worst I could do would be to take the wrong 15v lead from the DIN plug, instead of giving the household AC a new route (ie. my body) to travel.
If someone forsees a specific problem with the Elpac, let me know. Otherwise I'll give that a shot and report back my findings.
