Looking for a little bit of advice before I fry another bit gear...

I have an Emagic AMT8 MIDI unit I haven't used in years, that I'm about to start using again.

I can't find the wall wart, so went looking for a replacement. The manual specifies 9V AC 900mA. The closest I came was a Jaycar unit rated 9V AC 1A, but it was unregulated and came with a stern warning sticker saying not to use it for components that don't draw 1A.

From memory I've actually mistakenly run this from a typical Boss-style 9V DC PSU without issue, which I've seen other people do, but would prefer to do the right long term thing.

Any recommendations? Can't seem to track down a 9C AC 900mA REGULATED PSU anywhere. Have little to no sparky knowledge.

Cheers all.

If it runs off 9vAC (Note AC, not the boss style DC) you'll be pretty hard pressed to find a regulated AC power supply.. I'm pretty sure nothing like that exists. (Regulated DC, yep, heaps of them around)

if the manual specifies 9vAC @ 900mA and you use a 9vAC @ 1000mA( =1A) you'll be fine .

The mA rating of the power supply is how much current the wall wart can deliver, so going over is never going to cause damage.
