Uptone Audio LPS-1.2 Failures

I have read many posts in different forums where owners
LPS-1 and 1.2 have stopped working after a few years.

mine has just done the same short of 3 years.

Uptone should pull this product from the site so others are not waisting their money.

I always use linear power supplies that can supply an excess of amperage to devices it powers. Running lps with little amp margin runs them hot, heat is enemy of longevity.

Uptone supports their products, as stated previously, many LPS 1.2 sold, bound to be some failures, and amperage produced relatively low, means its going to run hotter vs higher amperage producing lps, heat is enemy of longevity. Last spoke to Alex perhaps a month ago, only product going out door at present JS-2, parts shortages impacting present products and some new ones coming along.
