Are these linear 5V supplies something that can be picked up easily?
Is it any linear 5v supply we are looking for or are some types better
than others?
I'm not sure that anyone has identified a cheap, easily available
off-the-shelf model that fills the bill. If they have, I've not heard
about it.
The Bolder Cables company sells what looks to be a high quality unit,
priced accordingly.
Vinnie at Red Wine Audio will put you on batteries, among other things.
You could rig your own battery/charger system.
Other list members have been working on designs for what may become a
DIY kit or someone's product.
There was some discussion here a while back:

Enthusiasts at diyaudio and audiocircle are also hard at work.
Part of the delay in finding options for a quick and easy, external
linear PSU upgrade seems to be that the more talented and ethusiastic
designers and modders are setting their sights higher than that.
They're seeing bigger gains in more extensive internal changes.
For myself, I'm waiting to see how it settles out before carving up my
SB2 or spending big on an external PSU that may or may not work well
with whatever mods turns out to be The Way.
