Roger, The issue is not whether these devices are "fake" power supplies or fake chargers - irrelevant. If they have fake components and maybe faked UL and FCC labels, then they are fakes as far as be

Aaron, Get yourself a linear power supply. The linear that tore up your SW listening may very well have had a self-oscillation problem in the series regulator chip. (The popular 78-series regulators
