Decided to fit a new Masthead Amp, so bought an Antiference 4 way Masthead Amp that comes with a PSU,
These usually come with a tried and tested Linear PSU, however when the kit arrived I noticed they had switched to a cheap little SMPS.
I decided to try it, this little PSU was causing lots RFI, it even caused interference to the TV!
I opened it up for a nose, they claim it's "Screened" but it isn't, it was sort of "potted" but that came off quite easily, Antiference said that's the Screening...
They must have some magic potting compound I've never heard of.
The design leaves a lot to be desired. Lack of mains filtration, safety features and it also comes with a FAKE BS Rated Fuse in a UK Plug of questionable quality.
Just look at how those F Connectors are mounted, they have their own little antennas!
It's in the hands of Trading standards at the moment, but thought I'd share some pictures of this awful little device so anyone here can avoid.
I did e-mail Antiference and was basically told it was a cost cutting exercise, when I highlighted issues with this product they didn't want to know.
I since replaced it with a Wolsley Linear(Last picture) which functions as it should and is built 100x better and safer.
