I've had good luck with the midwest analog platinum power supply kit.
Admittedly the version I got was a little pricey at $65, but it has both a
bipolar 15v and 5v power supply. It looks damn spiffy after I stuck all
the bits to the side of my skb case with machine screws... nice and neat.
Just yesterday the case came flying down due to a wire I tripped over...
everything was fine. I guess it's a good thing I keep everything nicely
strapped down inside. 

I had no end of problems with other power supplies... neither the one I
got from mouser nor my homebuilt one seemed to do the job within
acceptable tolerances. (and I'm really not that picky) Strangely enough my
analog drum modules don't seem to be as touchy, but they're a totally
different design. Incidentally they work nicely with the ASM-1's filters
and various other modules, making me a pretty happy camper with a fat ol'
percussive section :)
