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?

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).

The Plixir BDC Mk2 5a 12v dual output. https://www.plixirpower.com/products/elite-bdc-mk-ii-3a-5a-1 

This should be considered one of the best in the world.

Teradak and LHY good options, not crazy expensive. There are many more expensive options. Like anything, find a good match for the level of the rest of your gear. At some point, diminishing returns.
