Hey guys, I'm looking for a power supply for my Duo-Rx.  Wondering which one you guys recommend?  I see gamedoctorhk has one, but it doesn't say if it's regulated or not (also the cable length is 80cm, isn't that kinda short?).  Retrogamesupply has one too and it is regulated, but the amperage is 1A vs gamedoctorhk's which is 2A.  Anyone have experience with either of these?  Any screen interference or audio distortions?  Thanks!

Genuine PS2 slim PSU will work.  Make sure it is the real Sony brand and not off brand junk, the one I had was causing noisy video while real PS2 adapter worked cleanly.

That PS2 slim power supply looks like a beast.  5.65 amps lol.  I ended up just going with the one from Retro Game Supply.  Brand new, shipped from France, $15.51 total.  Cable length is 1 meter (around 39 inches), still a little short but longer than the one from GamedoctorHK.  It's also regulated, which I hear is better.  I'll let ya'll know how it works.
