Simplifi Audio - DSpeaker 2.0 ultra power supply

Simplifi audio has been the absolute worst audio dealer I've ever dealt with. I bought the $500 power supply for the Dspeaker 2.0 seven months ago - still haven't received it - and he's refused to respond to any calls or emails. Working with paypal to try to get a refund - but he doesn't respond to them either - so taking forever.

I should have known better - had a lousy experience buying the DSpeaker from him as well - took 3 months, but at least I finally got it.

Everyone says what a nice guy Tim is in person - and I'm sure he is - but this is a terrible way to run a business. Stay away from buying from him. Know lots of friends that gave had the same experience.

Anyone else having same issues with them?

I looked inside the unit. It has a huge transformer.

Is that a drop in replacement? In other words does it have the correct input that goes into the DSPeaker?
Where do you recommend to purchase it from?

I ordered a new one for $100 bucks. Is that a good price?

Rodge827, I received the SL 11A, it came the next day!
I hooked it up and started using it this morning. By the way, it was $99.99 including shipping and paypal fees from DX Engineering in Ohio.

Rodge827, Its going to be hard to tell, for I am using the DSPeaker only on my subs. I assume that like all power supplies it will probably take time for the electronics to break in. But based on what I see inside of this thing it was a very good buy.

Rodge827, I performed some modification to the Astron power supply.
I like the fact that it has a detachable IEC but it is so close to the spade/banana terminals that only the cheapo power cord it came with could be used.
So,I removed the spade/banana terminals and soldered a 12V quick disconnect plug using only the top hole for connection.
Now, I am able to experiment with better after market power cords. I also put one of the WA Quantum fuse stickers on the fuse.

I leave mine powered on all the time also.
Would the Astron be considered digital or analog?
I like to keep them separate.
