Default SMPS for audio

Does anyone know a good source for SMPS's for audio equipment? That
would be + and - 15 volts and 5 volts for the digital stuff.


Most off the shelf SMPS's can do 5 volts but other taps are usually 12
or 15volts for drives etc. Sometimes I see one with +15 volts at 3 amps
or whatever and -15 volts at a few hundred mlliamps. Not really what I
want.


Jaycar Electronics (and others probably) do a kit which produces +/-15v
from a wide input range. Although it doesn't say how much current.

However, for audio unless you are pretty experienced I'd stick to analogue
supplies. The hash from an SMPS can be difficult to get rid of - even if
you can't hear it.
