Little Pinkie V3i PSU for MF X-CAN V3 / V8
Also suitable for X-10D V3, X-DAC V3 and X-LPS V3 / X-LPS V8


Little Pinkie V3 Hand Made in Scotland

The Little Pinkie v3i is the successor to the very popular Little Pinkie v3 which pleased many music lovers the world over. Featuring a custom made transformer using only the highest grade of materials the Little Pinkie v3i delivers sonics that are really out of this world. This is a real "bang for your buck" product and it delivers the goods big time, see what others think of it here.

Little Pinkie V3 is a no nonsense high quality PSU housed in a sturdy ABS enclosure. To the rear is an IEC socket (AC mains in) and a pro quality Deltron 650 series DIN socket. The Little Pinkie to X-Ponent (X-CAn V3 / V8, X-10DV3 etc.) is connected by means of a high quality shielded cable terminated with high quality Neutrik plugs. It also features a integral ferrite beads which soak up any nasties and ensures only clean voltage enters the x-ponent (there is also a top class EVOX / Rifa 470nF class X2 suppression capacitor inside the Little Pinkie which ensures the voltage into the Pinkie is clean too) All connections are hard wired with silver loaded solder.

Situated at the front of the unit is a an on / off switch. It's a good quality, sub miniature toggle type and affords the user the convenience of being able to switch the Little Pinkie V3 off without having to clamber about at the mains socket. Many people asked for the inclusion of a switch, so, here it is:

The "engine" is a top quality 30VA (2500mA) transformer custom made to my own very demanding specifications in the UK employing the finest grade laminations money can buy. It features twin double section bobbins (4 coil structure) which provides maximum isolation and achieves a low interwinding capacitance. It also has an integral self resetting thermal trip so is bullet proof in operation. Absolutely silent with no discernable "buzz" or heat build up, this beauty runs as cool as a cucumber and has oodles of current on tap to satisfy even the most demanding of musical climaxes... she certainly won't run out of steam, that's for sure!.

 




4 screws which secure the transformer to the enclosure. Feet are top quality heavy duty rubber.


A few Little Pinkies in the process of being built

The Little Pinkie v3i is proving extremely popular with the newly introduced X-Can v8 ...... Kim Heino comments: "I upgraded from X-CAN v3 to v8 a week ago and the sound was more open and dynamic. Now connecting Pinkie LP3Vi to X-Can v8 was WOW! Better stereo soundstage, better and faster bass, overall sound is more clear and dynamic. Superb! It made more difference than v3 > v8 change. I'm a very happy customer. I was quite happy with the standard v3, but now there's no way back to that. And it's not even burn-in yet..."
