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?

I will see if i can did up the information been a few years since i looked at them. 

one thing to note the lab rated equipment has to meet very hi standards, standards that are not required for most equipment in the audio world, The ones i was looking at are the ones they use in the Calibration lab on the Navy repair facility i work at. I'll see if i can get a hold of the guy in the lab to get the brand.

You might want to send Teddy Pardo an email and see what they have. I bought one of their LPS’s for my Node and it works great.  The sound is noticeably better and there is no background noise at all.

Thanks @glennewdick for any additional information you can share.  It's not that I believe there are no possible sonic benefits to an "audiophile" LPS.  I do believe you can be an audiophile at any price level, though, and the most appropriate LPS for a $1000 DAC may not be so for a $50,000 one, and vice versa.

Is this how a PS Audio power plant works plus the DC to AC conversion? I have a PP3 for my preamp  dac and steamer.
