The only thing that puts me off with the Cen/Sen was the floating power supply (i.e. batteries). You then either have to fit a charging circuit in the case, fit an exernal battery pack or take the lid off and change the batteries every so-many hours. I bought four 9V PP3 rechargeables to use, and am planning to fit a switch to the rear panel to switch the supplies on and off.
I have a fundamental question about floating supplies.
Isn´t every power supply without any reference to a common ground a "floating supply"? Meaning, if you had, for example, 4 separate windings on your transformer and use 4 regulators of your choice for each SEN-circuit - without connecting the supplies to each other - isn´t this a floating supply, too?
Apparently people had best experiences with battery-supplies at the SEN, but technically, conventional regulators can be made floating as well. Or do I understand something wrong here?
