[Elecraft] OT: Popular power supply query

[Jack Berry]

Bill,

Just added an Astron VS-35M to the shack after nearly 20 years with a RS-35m 
which is still working like new. I went with the variable supply so I could dial 
up the output voltage to meet charge requirements for a 12V gel cell.
I wouldn't go to any switchers for fixed service if I could avoid it. 
The Astron linear is hard to beat - simple, quiet (in db's and rf) and heavy. 
Good switchers are fine I'm sure but when I looked around online I saw a lot 
more variability on opinions and experiences with switchers. Astron is highest 
rated overall and reasonably priced for a 20+ year service life.

 73,

Jack - WE5ST

Time has come to purchase a new power supply - the 33 year old Astron 
has passed on. What are the popular and reliable supplies being used 
these days? If there are some to seriously stay away from, please so state.

Thanks,

Bill W2BLC
