[Elecraft] Linear PS Recommendations

I am looking for recommendations for a linear power supply to power my shack.

Right this minute I need one just for my K3s and P3, but at some point will be adding a KPA500, KAT500, dual monitors, etc.  Also, looking at building a dummy battery to run my laptop off the shack supply (11.1VDC, so a linear reg built into the dummy).

I will have plenty of power soon...  40 Amp 220 VAC sub-panel going in with 8 x 20A 120, 1x 15Amp 220, 1 x 20A 220 (yes, I know the sub branches total more than the sub-IN...  total up the breakers in your main service).   The wiring is such that I can up it to 60 Amps if/when I "need" it.

I just can't deal with this SMPS anymore... Ran one net on battery power and it was like a different world.  At some point, I will run on batteries 100%, but will still need a nice quiet hoss of a linear to feed the charge controller(s).

73,
