Certainly:
Everytime something goes wrong, the first question they ask you is "what
brand of power supply are you using"? If you say "Brand X" then they say
ahhhhhhaaaaa that's probably the trouble! One advantage to TT supplies is
they interface with their rigs and allow you to control the ac power from
the rig panel. Also, they have the correct connector on the dc cable,
provide an excess current breaker set to trip at 22 amps or so and come
with a schematic for troubleshooting. Finally there is good repair service
available when needed from the factory.
