I'm using this unit to power an old 12v car stereo EQ in my home stereo. works great...clean power. I recommend.
Watched a power supply comparison on Old HiFi Guy's youtube channel.
I purchased 2 one for a Fosi Audio GR40 and the other for a Fiio K11 R2R.
The Fiio's switching power supply is 12 volt 2 amp so I did not try it with the Fiio.
Tried it with the Fosi GR40 on my modest near field system that is powered by a Fosi ZA3 amp with Sparko's opamp's, Sony SSCS 5 for mains and Polk Audio RM705 subwoofer.
The difference in sound stage, instrument placement, vocals and especially bass response was shocking. This PSP linear power supply made music like Stanley Clarkes School Day's, to stuff like Dave Brubeck's Time Out to the Who's Live at Leeds My Generation bass solo by John actually sound like a bass instrument instead of the expected performance of an inexpensive subwoofer.
Moving from a Douk Audio P1 tube preamp to the Fossi GR40 preamp/dac made a immediately noticeable improvement. This linear power supply gave a comparably obvious improvement to the overall sound.
Easily the best bang for the buck improvement to the overall sound I have ever purchased.

Bought this to replace the stock PS for my FX tube buffer pre-amp that I paid less than $30 brand new several years ago. Back then I replaced the Chinese tubes it came with for USA made GE tubes for around $28. I have a WiiM Ultra and Sony X800M 4k bdp that plays SACD, DVD-Audio(I have a collection of physical media). Both the Wiim(USB & optic) and the blue~ray player(digital coax) are linked to my Geshelli Labs J2S DAC with Sparkos op-amps. From there to a Schiit LYS(RCA switcher), 1 line going to the FX preamp then to my late model Sony ES AVR. I have EMF filtering on my surge protector, other quiet power supplies, ferrous chokes, etc, but nothing expensive. Anyway, now my system sounds better than ever. Subtle, yet beyond placebo to my ears. Perfect match for my use case. This PS is well constructed, allows my devise to achieve its potential, and it’s priced so low it doesn’t make sense not to try it. Satisfied customer, will shop AC-DC Powershack in the future. Oh btw, they shipped it immediately and it arrived in a couple days. Excellent service!

This power supply does exactly what it’s supposed to do. It provides a stable 12V AC output and has been working reliably with my equipment without any noise, heat issues, or voltage instability.
The connector fits securely, and the unit feels solid and well-built. No hum, no interference, and no surprises—which is exactly what you want from a power supply.
It’s refreshing to find a straightforward, dependable AC-AC adapter without unnecessary complexity. I would buy it again if I needed another.
Glad to find this adaptor exists. Does exactly what I needed.
This 100 ft. DC power extension cable is just what I needed. Nice quality.
Product works great and delivered as promised.
Arrived in good condition and is exactly what I needed.
Just as pictured and described!
I needed this for a 90’s era lamp that needed a new power cord and it was hard to find. Thankfully they had this in stock. Very sturdy and UL rated!
Works as advertised
Packed and shipped well.
Good price for a quality unit.
I don't need these my adapters want the problem need to get a return label asap
The ac-ac adaptor has brought a special vintage christmas tree back to life. Thank you

The device appears to be solid and well built. It's the only unit I've found that has both a Variac AND an Isolation transformer in one unit. It's roughly half the price of buying both units separately (not to mention the reclaimed workspace). As near as I can tell, the output is indeed isolated from the input, as claimed, including the ground. I'm just a hobbyist, not an electrical engineer, so please accept my opinion in that that context.
I had to get Chat GPT involved before I found this adapter, and it worked. I'm happy :-).

I purchased this for my fiber optic Hummingbird lamp because it has a color wheel synchrous motor in which requires the above power adapter. This company is the only company I found that carries these adapters. I bought one, and now have bought 2 more, one for my sister who has the same lamp and another for me, because I recently purchased another fiber optic lamp. Hans was very helpful and I truly appreciate the help he provided. Thank you Hans!
Most guitar pedals and effects boxes are standard 9V center negative DC, but my Alesis Phlngr actually needs 9V AC. I had to find the right plug size which ended up being 2.5 mm inner diameter instead of 2.1mm like this adapter. This site also sells the converter from 2.1x5.5 mm to 2.5x5.5 mm that allows me to interface with this unit. Works as intended.
I bought this adapter for my Boss SE-50 since I did not want to spend $40+ on a giant brick known as the BRB-120. I had one of the original Roland power supplies back in the day and hated how much space it took up just for a half-1U rackmount. However the plug on the AC/AC adapter I bought here is 2.1mm x 5.5mm so I also got a converter on this website to adapt it to the 3.0mm x 6.3mm plug in the back of the SE-50. I have confirmed this to be operational, and a less expensive shoehorn for the BRB-120.
