Dual 555PS - Same two PS's for both CD555 & ND555. Is that even possible?

Posted by: rjstaines on 06 August 2018

So I have two 555PS's, and I have (say) an ND555 and also a CD555.  Do I ever play them together? ...No.

I have two 555PS plugged into my (say)  ND555.  Each 555PS has one outlet used and the other outlet unused.   Is there any reason, I'm wondering, why the two unused  outlets on my two 555PS's could not be used to power my CD555 ?   So, given neither ND555 nor CD555 will be played at the same time, do I now have both source devices powered by the optimal two power supplies?

Am I crazy?     (I answered this particular question in another recent post about my blue-spec Paul Simon CD for £47, btw  ) ...

or have I just saved £14,000 (ish)

or is this pushing frugality a step too far?

OK gentlemen, it was a crazy idea... it just floated through my head so I thought I'd run it up the flagpole and see if anyone saluted... they didn't.

As it happens I have three 555PS's already... one on my CD555 and two powered off, waiting for an ND555  (I sold the NDS already). Sorry if I misled.  Behind the thought... sell one of the 555PS's, leaving me with two + some £cash.

It's very interesting that folk accept one 555 for the CD player... it stops me experimenting with one of the idle ones and connectong two 555's to the CD player;  that could  have been an expesive mistake - £6,999 to be precise.

Thanks all for the advice and return to sanity.

Roger it’s simple. You will love the ND555 which would only need two supplies to max the performance. And then you could hand me the 3rd one.....

I would of course need to think a bit, but on the other hand if i can help solving your problem,.... I would be happy to....

Bert, your generosity truly overwhelms me.   But would you also take the CD555 that is powered by the third one off my hands ?   ...and how about the Fraim that supports the CD555 and the third 555PS... would you thake that too ?   Gosh, I'm almost blown away... 

I am happy to support my fellow forum members......
