Linear power supply

Afternoon: I have been looking at various LPS for my Project RS2T transport. I'm currently using the included switching supply that sounds great. Very impressed with the Project units SOUND! WOW! 

Currently looking at the following units: Linear Tube Audio in MD their LPS, prices for the units I'm looking at are all pretty close to one another.    The next is the Fedelizer Nickola2, I forget where, overseas, and the Plixir Elite BDC unit, I believe in the Philippines. Two of the units were reviewed on a site called audio bacon and received good reviews and the other the Linear tube Audio was not. I have since spoken to Nickolas at LTA and he mentioned they are a small 10 man business and somehow may have been overlooked, They have gotten very good reviews never the less.    Charles one Dad and lpretiring (Comment on this site regularly, and are very knowledgeable ) that own the Fedelizer units have nothing but great things to say about their units,

Just wondering if anyone out there missed the discussions on the Project RS2T unit and LPS .  Just hoping someone has the Linear Tube Audio piece and can comment on its merits.   Sorry to be so windy,  Robert TN   Any other opinions are welcomed. Thanks

I've seen that Audio Bacon review.

As a consequence will be replacing my LPS with a Plixir Elite BDC Dual.

Considered the Ferrum Audio Hypsos for its reviews, quality and flexibility.

I have a Project Stream Box S2 Ultra. A wonderful piece. They say no benefit adding a linear power supply due to John Westlake's design. 

Almost certainly going to get a Plixir Elite BDC Dual. Have space limitations. Would feed my network switch and external clock. Also looked at a Pura Dodo as a slightly cheaper option. Advantage with the Dodo (??) is you can have two different voltage values.

The benefit of the Ferrum Hypsos is that you can change the voltage depending on need. Is more expensive though.
