When Amperage is reduced Voltage increases. This is how they get past the energy loss in High Voltage transmission lines.

This also works vice versa... This is why your devices smoke.
Ah yes. I forget the world isn't perfect sometimes. :roll: Ideally all ac adapters would be regulated to prevent the voltage output from dropping under a load and causing the amps to go flying up. Lots of cheap ac adapter are unregulated it seems. At least that's what Wikipedia says so it must be true. :lol:

I've read all four pages of this topic and it disappoints me that we haven't learned whether these CDX's work or not. Don't keep us in suspense!

I brought them to a repair place in town and haven't heard anything yet. I should probably check on that tomorrow.
