Yamaha CS80

yea, i was talking about a dedicated PSU, not just a x-former. i think  that's your best bet. over here in the states, i believe mouser.com sells many different varieties. not sure what you've got across the pond-maybe someone else can weigh in?

ok, now i see your voltage concerns. that  makes sense.

 Right - but on a transformer, the two are linked, because of the 
 resisistance of its windings.
 Normally, you have a full-load voltage specified, and an off-load voltage. 
 If you're running it at a light load, you're closer to the off-load spec 
 than the full-load spec.
 
 But to get back to practical matters, I've looked up the specs for a random 
 picked 500VA transformer. Full-load voltage and off-load voltage only differ 
 by 4% - we certainly can live with *that*.

 Wait a minute - were you talking about a regulated AC PSU, and not a simple 
 transformer?
 With active electronics inside that regulates the amplitude of the AC output 
 ? (But these have other problems.)
