Warning

To  prevent  fire  or  shock  hazard,  do  not 
expose  the  High  Current  Power  Supply 
to  rain  or  moisture.  To  avoid  electrical 
shock, do not open the enclosure. Refer 
servicing to qualified personnel only.

To  prevent  electric  shock,  use  only  a  3 
prong, grounded type power cable.

Any  change  or  modifications  not  expressly 
approved  in  the  manual  could  void  your 
warranty.

Safety Instructions

Read  the  operating  instructions  pro-
vided  with  the Analog  High  Current  Power 
Supply.

Retain  the  operating  instructions  for  later 
use and reference.

Unplug  the  Analog  High  Current  Power 
Supply  from  the  wall  outlet  before  chang-
ing  the  fuse  or  performing  any  cleaning  or 
service.

Do  not  operate  the  High  Current  Power 
Supply near water. Avoid placement near a 
water reservoir or excessive moisture.

When  replacement  parts  are  required, 
ensure  they  are  specified  by  the  manufac-
turer  to  have  the  same  characteristics  as 
the original part. Unauthorized substitutions 
may  result  in  fire,  electric  shock,  or  other 
hazards.

Do  not  operate  with  faulty  or  frayed  power 
cables.

Overview

The  PS Audio Analog  High  Current  Power 
Supply  is  designed  to  enhance  the  sonic 
performance  of  the  PCA-2  preamplifier  as 
well as other PS Audio accessories.

The  Analog  High  Current  Power  Supply 
is  designed  to  improve  upon  conventional 
design  by  housing  a  large  power  supply  in 
an  external  chassis.  By  locating  the  power 
supply  in  an  external  chassis  interference 
between it and sensitive circuity of the PCA-
2 is minimized.

The  Analog  HCPS  uses  a  huge  toroidal 
transformer coupled to 75,000 µf of storage 
capacity.  The Analog  HCPS  is  designed  to 
readily  deliver  massive  amounts  of  clean 
current when the PCA-2 requires it.
