The only thing I wondered about was that in the FAQ the recommended "All Electronics PS131" is actually 13Volt, not 12 like the player is stamped with requiring - (and the original power supply is stamped as providing). Now admittedly I have read it will work with 12-16V, but perhaps it really is more like 13-16 is optimal for sustained use?? Hmmm.. I'm going to see if Radio Shack have a 13V 1A version, and give that a shot -

Failing that - any Canadians out there have a recommended unit I can buy 'this' side of the border?!
