They're apparently considered the Cadillac of lab AC supplies, though there are certainly worthy competitors like the Elgars that Peter mentioned earlier.  And yes...they are *heavy*... but quiet.  If you are patient, you can usually find one that needs some work on ebay for a lower price.  The latest ACM models are way too pricey for my budget, even used, but the older ones with analog meters usually hang around on the auction site for a while and the seller may be receptive to an offer.

The frequency/voltage plug-in units run the gamut of stable single frequencies, but there are two variable frequency oscillators that offer 45-2000Hz ranges, like the one below that I sometimes use in the 100-C for 800Hz equipment.
