The REF02 is a bandgap based 5V precision reference. 10ppm/°C temperature drift, 10µVpp max noise (0.1 Hz - 10 Hz) and a known output voltage of +5 +- 0.2% max. It also has a trim input to further calibrate it within a +- 6% range. The long term stability is specified at +- 100 ppm for the first 1000h, +- 50 ppm for the second 1000h.

The VRE3041A has a known output voltage of 4.094 V +- 0.409 mV, that's 0.01%. A temperature drift of 0.6 ppm/°C, noise of 3 µVpp (0.1 Hz - 10 Hz), and a long term drift of 6 ppm/1kh. It also has a trim option for < 0.01% initial error.

The LTC 6655 is a bandgap based voltage reference.
I have the 5V variant in the hermetically sealed 5x5mm LS8 package. It goes for 16 € a pop on mouser, not including taxes.
Noise is 0.25 ppm pp between 0.1 Hz and 10 Hz, with a 2 ppm/°C temperature drift, a high initial accurary of +- 0.025 % max, and a long term drift of 20 ppm/sqrt(kHr). Dope af.
With the power of hackjob soldering I managed to get that weird package onto a SOP14 adapter PCB. Hope it didn't cost me too many ppm. Marco Reps would NOT be proud :(
Snapped off every other leg as to not create loops
mhhhh .. precision meets breadboard
Well, that REF02 is dead :(
I'm pretty sure I didn't zap it. 10V supply results in 8.6V output, output tracks the supply voltage.

The VRE3041 seems to work perfectly, as far as I can tell at least. My crude measurement setup was very noisy in itself so I couldn't verify its noise level. Unplugging it from the breadboard gives me noise reduction of an order of magnitude - surprise surprise.
Let's have a quick look at this power supply I picked up at the Finger event. I have to admit, its mad scientist retro looks were a big part of its appeal to me. Plus I needed another lab PSU in my setup anyway and this fits in nicely. Linear supply with a big hunk of iron and copper.
Made by hera Laborsysteme GmbH. Small German company that's still in business. It's in one of their lab equipment form factors. Think long horizontal plug-in systems for the bench. Or even whole benches with slots for those modules.
Unfortunately, I couldn't find any service materials.
It provides two 0-30V regulated and current limited rails, as well as an extra 5V rail. The variable rails are controlled by a SG4501J voltage regulator and an MC1458CPI dual op amp each. The pass elements are all TIP142 npn power transistors. The datasheet of the voltage regulator suggests a symmetrical application and states +-15 V capability. They run it for a 30V single rail.
