Just another datapoint from an occasional forum user... I've had no trouble with the Touch wallwart but my Classic has burned through about 5 thanks to the current-hungry florescent display. I gave up on switching supplies and have been using a $70 "Zero Zone" linear PS off eBay and I've been very happy with it.
It does run warm but my needs are way under the max rating. If it fails at least it's repairable--unlike all the plastic wallwart & inline switching supplies I've tossed.Last edited by Guy48065; 2018-04-15 at 12:06.

I also believe in the clean power theory, but I choose the full power of a power conditioner, I have put one in each of my systems in my home.

That's crazy that you've gone through 4 PS's with the same result. That's not typical for the Touch. At first I thought it could be a dirty power issue (since you require a power conditioner) but I don't think dirty power would be a direct cause of a remote not working.
Anyway, maybe your Touch is a tad off spec, who knows. At least you got it working.

None of my Touch had issues during all these years. I burnt Boom, Radio and Duet PS (I burnt a remote charging stand last week - I know a lot here don't like the duet's remote, but although totally outdated today by iPeng and al, I still do think that was an amazing remote for its time), but no Touch so far. I've a lot of spare PHIHONG PS with all sort of ratings, so there is always an extra one and I use them for my multiples electronic home projects. They are good enough for my uneducated ears.
