I have been on a quest to build a 500 series console/hybrid setup. What are some of the best powersupply 500-10 space racks?
I’m thinking price vs. performance
WES Audio SupercarrierII
Heritage Audio
Purple Audio
CAPI
Rupert Neve R10
API
Maybe I missed a few?
Is there a power consumption issue with any of these items? I want to make sure my whole rack is getting the power it deserves!
Still looking at price adjustments over the holidays.

Fredenstein Bento 10 is a quality piece

I'd look at Purple Audio, BAE, and Heritage Audio if you are looking for assembled products.
Don't worry about current draw. All of these have sufficient current capability IMO assuming they are made within the last few years. I'd prioritize sound, noise, I/O, and build quality in that order. Some of lesser performing racks have excellent build quality mechanically.

If you're going for a console setup check out total audio controls 11 slot rack. Also makes a super nice rack mounted psu.
The 511 advance has the most io of any rack I've seen so far.

Fredenstein stuff is interesting...The digital control you can link and stereo Buss modules from the front control panel.

CAPI is what I use here. Beefy power supply that powers two 11 space racks.

TACs PSU also will do 2 modules and does +-24v as well if you're into that.
Cermal actually easily modified mine to do 3 racks for 30 ML2s from one rack mounted PSU

I also have a fredenstein that works for me. The only issue I have with it is every once in a while the phantom power lights pulse. I also have a Lindell that hasn’t given me any issues but I feel like I need to build a CAPI since I’m addicted to building Jeff’s pres.

The Purple Sweet 10 has been flawless here. I’ve had two of them for 7 or 8 years with no issues.
