Toxic Vinyl...Hmm. Havent heard that one before. How do you even exist with the 1000s of chemicals you are surrounded by everyday.
Another note. If you use switchers you cant just load them down with a capacitive load. They tend not to start up. Right now I'm not using anything between the SPS and the boards. Maybe before final build.

You gotta detox. Once or a few times per year do a few weeks of cleansing, go to sauna often, diet, fasting, many things you can do to reduce the industrial pollutants in the body.
Vynil like many other polymers breaks down to shorter chains over time and you may know this, the individual molecules of vinyl chloride are actually volatile enough to evaporate into the air. But it's just a substance that's hard to dispose of. So I don't think you really want to support that industry necessarily. On the other hand we all drive huge chunks of plastics called cars, so I don't know, but definitely worth removing it from the body as much as possible or at least limiting exposure.
I think good ones like Meanwell have startup current limiters or something like that. And ultimately, I will be using 0.2R or even thermistors before the big caps.

Oh ok. Haven't heard of thermistors before caps. I could see that working. Is that something that others are doing. Yeah your right about VC. I used to work for 20 years at a factory that processed PVC day and night. Even stuff that would melt and put out fumes. Probably lucky to be here.
Well, among my LPs, I have a significant number of records that are between 50 and 70 years old. They haven't turned brittle or otherwise changed yet. Can't be that much evaporation from records ...
Also, most of my records I have bought used ... that is not as bad for the environment as manufacturing new ones ...

Too bad. New Vinyl sounds better than ever. Quiet surfaces, heavy weights. Much better than the 70's and 80's. Now the prices are TOO high, give you that.
