HELP with power supply

detuned6

Metal dude
I just picked up a used aphex 107 tubessence mic pre, but the power supply they gave me is not the original.

The back of the unit reads: 24 vAC 600MA
the power supply they gave me Reads: 12 vAC 500ma
The unit works fine, but is this bad to use???
I dont whant to do any damage to the unit or my other gear by using this power supply. What should i do??

I would not recommend trying to use the 107 with the power supply you have - if it really does want twice the voltage, the least you would see is a lack of headroom, and if the tube is running at half filament voltage, leaving it plugged in could eventually result in cathode poisoning - not a major thing, but you would have to buy a new tube to fix it. It's always best to find out from the manufacturer in these cases... Steve
