I've had the SPS-30DM for 7 or 8 years. I use it to power a K2/10 and 
K2/100 plus all the external accessories. Quiet, absolutely solid as a 
brick. It replaced an old Astron RM-20A which would make a nice foot 
warmer and massager. Very happy the the SPS and Powerwerx in general. I 
buy nearly all my 12v power connectors from them.
