About RM800+ (dealer pricing)..a good one made by Instek..which I've got jalan to get. It costs more outside.

Instek eh? I am definitely NOT familiar with the name.. will find out
RM800+ is a good price.. saw some in Jalan Pasar, can't remember the names though.. 4 digits pricing.. saw one at Nixie.. RM1200.

Instek is quite a good brand..which also OEM for others. Instek or its variants are frequently sold to local factories. Of course Tektronix, Agilent, HP or Fluke will be sought after by American factories..support own countryman's produce mah!..
Nixie ones are all China made.. a bit dodgy there. Price can discount one!..

I've got 2 Instek GW series (discontinued) power supplies. After 5 years, they're still running strong.

Good for you!
After this can masuk 'old school' stuffs thread

Benchtop PSU's seldom fail, unless its frequently abused, improper use and short circuited for whatever reason.
People here don't look after company equipment.. why?.. attitudes.. people seldom change!..period.
The distributor once demoed to me hooking up to a HUGE resistor load at its maximum current for couple of minutes..It withstood the test without a hitch.

These are the big PSU??? Like the one near your left speakers isit bsl555?

Whoa... only 5 years sudah kira 'old stuff' ka?

Thats a AVR..5KVA capacity..was actually for office PC's..but its been tweaked and modded. I can't do without it..its so neccessary for my purpose.

No, you gotta wait another 5 years.. hahahaha

Haha patience is a virtue la.....

Never mind..you're still young and can develop or exercise your patience.
Say, if you ask me where I stand from political viewpoint... my patience run out long time ago.. virtue or not doesn't matter!

Shhhhh i have that same opinion too believe me. Disgruntled is the word. But i was refering to our DIY and audiophile hobby LOL

I think there is no such thing as patience when it comes to hobbies. It is only when you can unstick the activity from a fanatical hobby level and get back to `facing reality' status, that patience can exist.

LOL you have a point there but how we are regulated is by $$$$'s and this is usually when we hit 'facing reality'.......of go out of budget

Right, in retrospect, we acquire patience when our wallets run out of juice.

I see very little patience in this forum. That tells me there are plenty of well heeled forumers here.

Lol...i would have to agree or realization hits them that you can enhance the hobby to a new level. Likewise, i moved out from headphones nirana to hifi nirvana because i wanted to share my love for music with my wife. It is not so when she has one headphone on and i have one too, why be so aloof when sharing is caring

Unfortunately, a lot of budding audiophiles here have not yet had the benefit of our experience. Hence, they still listen to music in isolation.... But we (hitched ones) have advanced to the higher plane of musical nirvana in unisonance. This is double the enjoyment for the price of one.

BTW back to your thread topic, what DIY project are you working on now? My PSU is almost done. I'll need jazzy to check it out next week before I attempt to power it up. And where is dear dgrebel? Stuck in the midst of exams ah? poor chap.

Yes Jazzy also did one PSU last week, saw it while i was at his house He should be back from his trip by today i think? But next week is surely on

Didn't you hear? He went to take over our Angkasawan's place in the ISS. He will be running an experiment on how to prevent cold solder joints in a gravity free environment.
