Power Adapter for DE-5000
Hexley:
If you have a molded plug with a 10 mm-long barrel, you might be able to trim away some molding to make it into a 12 mm-long barrel. That is what I did for my DE-5000's DC adapter anyway.

That may be the best option. All of the different 3.5x1.35 mm plugs I have found have a 9mm length. I am beginning to suspect that the jack inside the DE-5000 is set too far back inside the case.

As a new DE-5000 owner I was faced with this same dilemma this week. Either pay the outrageous/current $38 +$5 shipping or find an alternative. As others have found, a 3.5mm x 1.35mm x 12mm barrel connector is not exactly a standard offering.
What I did find was this pair of parts for about $20 including shipping:
http://www.bixnet.com/cntg5.html G5 DC Power Connector Plug Tip (3.5 x 1.35mm Male to 4.0 x 1.70mm Female )
https://www.ebay.com/itm/122808627060 AC / DC Adapter Cord 9V 1A (1000mA) 4.0mm x 1.7mm Wall Plug
It seemed like a more reasonable compromise.

Here in EU, there is lot of old Nokia 3310 (and others) adapters (good old transformer ones), and I found out they have reasonable voltage (about 8.5V), correct polarity, and reasonable connector (soft molded plug with a 10 mm-long barrel, I was able to trim away some molding to make it into a 12 mm-long barrel, with exacto knife).
Works fine, without switching noise..
So, cheap and ready made solution ;)

I just bought this which seems to work quite well with the DE-5000:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074BRR5YN 9V adapter $8
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FJLZGPF plug adapter $6 for 2
The nice think is the adapter is the same size as the OEM one so it fits in the case nicely.
