Great power supply Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I have nothing bad to say about this power supply.

Pro's
No rf noise
Next to no fan noise
Very stable power output
Variable output
Good gauges

Cons (O.K. I am being really picky here)
Not for those with a bad back (it is very heavy)

This power supply does what it needs to, with plenty of extra capacity. I would not hesitate to buy another one if I needed it. It has none of the problems that are so common in switching power supplies, which is why I bought it. I would highly reccomend it to anyone who needs a high quality base station power supply.

heavy duty Time Owned: more than 12 months.
owned mine for years, 5plus. hardly any use on it, but absoultely no problems with it to date.

cons
only 1 set of binding posts, which are located in the rear. This for me is a big pain. the case can not be easily modified to move a set to the front.
