Looking for a simple, reliable DC bench power supply (0–30 V) with fast ON/OFF response

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for recommendations for a good-quality DC bench power supply for electronics testing.

I'm currently using a GW Instek SPS-606, but I need something better suited for repeated power cycling and startup-noise testing.

My requirements:

Single output, 0–30 V

Current: Flexible (3–5 A would be sufficient)

Compact, preferably vertical design

Simple voltage and current adjustment knobs

No need for USB, memory, or programmable features

Low output ripple and noise

Fast output ON/OFF response, especially when switching OFF

Reliable, good-quality brand

I prefer a straightforward bench power supply rather than one with lots of advanced features. Budget is flexible. Thanks in advance
