At £475, this Plixir Elite BDC 15V Dual Output Power Supply is a genuine bargain, sitting well below the 25th percentile of £83 for comparable used GBP listings and far under the new retail price of roughly £480–£500 for the single-output Elite BDC model. While the new price for the dual-output variant is higher, the used asking price here is exceptionally low relative to the market median of £130, making it a strong deal for anyone seeking clean power for their Chord DAC.
This unit is well-regarded for delivering linear, noise-free power that significantly tightens bass and improves clarity in digital audio chains, a reputation earned through consistent performance in high-end setups. The dual 15V outputs offer flexibility for powering multiple stages or devices within a Chord system, and the “excellent” condition suggests minimal wear from a likely original owner. With no common failure points reported for this model and the price far below typical used values, this is a clear buying opportunity for enthusiasts who value sonic purity.

Dual emerged from the Black Forest region of Germany in 1907, when brothers Christian and Joseph Steidinger began manufacturing clockwork and gramophone components in St. Georgen. The company adopted its now-iconic name in 1927 after pioneering dual-mode power supplies that allowed gramophones to operate from either mains electricity or mechanical wind-up mechanisms. This innovation marked the beginning of Dual's transition from component supplier to full-fledged audio manufacturer, establishing a foundation of engineering precision that would define the brand for decades.
Dual built its reputation primarily as a turntable specialist, becoming Europe's largest turntable manufacturer by the post-war era with over 3,000 employees across multiple factories. Beyond vinyl playback, the company expanded into cassette players, CD players, and broader consumer electronics throughout the 1970s and 1980s, demonstrating versatility across analog and digital formats. The company's focus on mechanical excellence and stable drive systems earned it recognition as a dependable, quality-focused manufacturer throughout its European heyday.
Today, Dual occupies a fragmented market position following corporate restructuring in the 1990s and subsequent ownership changes. The original German turntable line continues production in St. Georgen under Alfred Fehrenbacher GmbH, maintaining traditional manufacturing standards and appealing to vintage enthusiasts and collectors. Separately, Namsung Electronics markets Dual-branded consumer electronics in the Americas at accessible price points. The brand's legacy rests primarily on its classic turntables, which remain highly sought after by collectors and audiophiles valuing precision engineering and heritage craftsmanship.
