What material do you recommend for making a linear power supply?
Hello everyone, I have some DACs and headphone amplifiers, as well as some preamplifiers and amplifiers. I now wants to create a linear power supply to power my DACs and headphone amplifiers, without the need for power amplifiers. My idea is to make two DC12V/3A and two USB 5V, with a total output power of about 80W. I want to use some better materials. Do you have any recommendations?
Welcome everyone to provide suggestions.

An enclosure with heatsinking fins is a good choice - aluminium for heatsink. Steel for the enclosure is good for any magnetic field leakage from transformers though. Of course copper is a better heatsink and mu-metal is better at magnetic field containment, but not sure those are wise choices...
