Linear Power Supply Recommendations!


While I realize linear power supplies share the same basic principle—using a transformer to step down voltage, rectification to convert AC to DC, and regulation to maintain a steady output….there are several factors that ultimately differentiate their performance in a specific application. 

Did you find one particular LPS performed better than the others?  I am looking for a dual output 12V / 3A power supply to power my Telegartner Opt Bridge 1000M. 

Ferrum HYPSOS Dual Output with its ‘Sweet Spot Tuning’ has caught my attention. Any users out here that is currently using this LPS?

That seems reasonable, but incomplete.  Did they give you any more specific information, like maker name, specs to look for, sites to shop?  Just buying an LPS because it's cheaper doesn't seem like much of a guarantee of better performance.

A linear power supply (LPS) is not the same as a switching power supply (SMPS).

I use vintage regulated tube linear power supplies but that’s another story!

Thank you @jond and @carlsbad2 for your recommendation.

LOL..I am not going to venture tube LPS for Optical Bridge. I got the tube magic where it matters the most (phono).
