According to the link below, the Tripp Lite PR-4.5A is 13.8 volts DC, at 4.5 amps. Hence the "4.5A" designation. Yes, I did say "hence" and yes, I am Shakespeare!

Actually the specs say 4.5 amps intermittent, 3 amps continuous.

I'd be looking at a dropping resistor to bring this down to 12V for your Dynavector and Piccolo. 13.8 is fine for powering that old 8-track player in your garage, but may not be for your phono stages.

I'm willing to bet that unless Duster can give you a method to tweak the hell out of this, it's not going to sound any better than what you're already using.
