Tripp-Lite is a well-respected name in the computer business -- they
make many, many different types of power supplies, UPS's,
surge-protected supplies, etc. I have never seen them carried by an
amateur dealer such as AES because in most amateur applications, the
ways that Tripp-Lite is adding value just aren't too important and
therefore aren't worth paying a premium for. That's why the Astrons
cost less and they're perfectly good supplies, IMHO.
