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?

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.

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

Yes it does have a large transformer!
I recently took over my daughters bedroom as my listening room, with no dedicated outlet in that room yet.. When I would dim the lights on the ceiling fan there would be a buzzing through the speakers. After I hooked up the 11A the buzzing stopped.
Fantastic for 12vdc gear!
Do tell what you hear.

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.

Ozzy,
Give it a little time and put the wall wort back in and do a comparison. For sub only there might not be all that much difference. I use mine as a dac, room correction, equalizer, and preamp. Adding the Astron made a big difference across the board. As always YMMV.
