Looking at a couple of different SBT power supply upgrades. Thoughts? Experience with either? Other options in similar price range ($300+/-)?

Thanks.

    There have been numerous business issues in the past with Wellborne Labs. I had to reverse some duplicate credit card charges from them on the last SBT power supply I ordered from them. I would do some research and approach with caution. That said, I am completely happy with both my Wellborne Labs power supplies.

    It took me about 3 months to get one of the pre-assembled Welbourne power supplies. Having said that, when it did arrive it was flawless. I ordered one in red, so they had to special order the case because they had none in stock.

    Customer service was there, but they are slow and offer no apologies for delays. But, at least they are consistently slow. I wouldn't order another one, because the other three SBT's I use around the house aren't used for any kind of critical listening.

    I had ordered a PS kit from them in 2010. No charge card issues, but slow, incomplete order with note saying the rest will follow and it did.
