Hi Paul,

Yes, I've read that page a couple of times, but it doesn't say whether the Ault, Meanwell, or Acopian power supplies have a 'regulated' or a 'close enough' +12 supply. I think that the two variable power supplies would be well regulated. I can pretty well guarantee that the ATX power supply has a 'close enough' 12V supply. But the two variable supplies are most likely linear while the others are switchers. This muddies the question of 'regulated' vs. 'close enough' with the idea of 'switching supply' vs. 'linear supply'.

In the Thunderbolt the +12 runs the oscillator. Won't an unregulated,
but relatively steady, +12 supply degrade the performance of the
oscillator or does the Tbolt have a built-in regulator to deal with this?

There is some interesting reading on this here:
