Has anybody bought the Heritage Audio OST-10 and, if so, what's your opinion on it? I had considered picking up a Lindell 510 because the price ($399) is really cheap but then I'm inclined to think you're likely getting what you pay for (cheap parts, internal switching psu, etc.).
I suppose the main debate for me comes down to getting a second rack with a linear psu like the one in with my BAE rack or going for something a little cheaper like the Heritage which, though it's psu is external, is still a switching psu (as I understand it). Apparently the Heritage has additional filtering/regulation inside the rack but I don't know to what extent that is truly making a difference or not.
Any thoughts? I'm also open to other 10 or 11 space options in the same price range ($699) as the Heritage. Maybe some Black Friday deal I'm unaware of?

I have a Heritage OST-4 that's been great. I actually ordered an OST-10 thinking I was going to sell some pres and go much more into 500 series land but by the time it showed up I had changed my mind and returned it.
But anyway, the OST-4 is great.

That is a good question. I never opened my OST-10 so I don't actually know. |

The 10 space screw holes are aluminum with a helicoil and will strip ( the 6 has steel inserts) (the heritage is steel) and it would not power all 10 of my heritage modules when I turn phantom power on |

You've confirmed my fears on the Lindell 510. |

Unit works fine, but screwing in the modules isn't right. |

So can anybody speak on specifics concerning the psu in the OST-10? How might it compare to a linear psu like the one with my BAE?

My move when I've outgrown my 6 space API Lunchbox will definitely be to build one of Jeff's. They look pretty badass.

We have two of Jeff's Capi VPR 11 space racks and a dual VPR floor mount linear power supply.
If you can DIY then it's a no brainer.
