What is the maximum amperage on the 15 volt side for the Pro-ject Power Box ds2 Sources

I have been trying to get this question answered for some time now. Before anyone goes there, Yes, I have tried asking Pro-ject but they dont seem to know. Strange I know but that is the deal. The root of my inquiry is that my turntable requires 15 v DC/1.6 A. The ds2 Power Box Sources lists 15v DC only, it does not give a listing for the amperage. I am attempting to power both my turntable and phono pre amp with the same power supply but I have not done so because of not knowing what the maximum amperage is for the Power Box. I am reluctnat to power the turntable in the absence of the proper amperage so I have just been using the wall wart for the turntable.

Technical specifications Pro-Ject Tube Box DS2 Tubes:

Outboard power supply: 18 V/1000 mA DC Power consumption: 490mA DC, <0,5W in standby Dimension W x D x H (D with sockets) 206mm x 227 (239)mm x 91mm aluminium 240mm x 227 (239)mm x 93mm wood

Trigger output/input: 12V (2,5mm jack) Weight (without power supply): 1500g aluminium 1960g wood

From the spec sheet, does that help?

Right off the spec sheet, it consumes 490 mA. 18v not 15, all the information is there.

Outboard power supply: 18 V/1000 mA DC Power consumption: 490mA DC


What you want to do with it, combine the two? .5 amp? close? and the 1.6. 2.1 max amps @ 15-18v 

Measure it....now you can figure a 150% duty cycle and clean it up.
Switching PS or something. Something clean...
