Having been disappointed with my ATX conversion, I started thinking about building a hybrid bench psu which uses smp in place of the main transformer, and then has a linear regulator. The smp could track the output so it was always a few volts higher, so the output stays clean and the linear reg isn't dissipating too much power.
(And I have a 50v smp pulled from an old pbx, sitting in my junk box. Would be nice to be able to use it...)
Is this the best of both worlds, or am cooking up a nightmare for myself? Thoughts anyone?
TIA
