Due to a change of circumstances, one of my customers wants to cancel his order for an SR5-12.

This SR5 has been set up for powering the Mac Mini 2010 onwards and could also be used for powering 12v motherboards or ATX motherboards with a Pico ATX converter like CAPS audio server power supplies. It would also make an excellent power supply for any 12v DAC or digital interface.

No waiting for build, as the power supply has already been built, so it is not subject to a build schedule lead time and it is ready to be packed and shipped. Anyone interested in buying this power supply should PM me for details.

Paul

Has something happened to Paul?

I ordered a returned PS from him and haven't heard back from him. I see he hasn't posted anything for 2 weeks now.

Everything OK?

Hi Brandon,

I’m still here, just busy with many things at present.

When you e-mailed on the 17th September telling me your were enjoying a beer in Barcelona I figured I would hold shipment until you returned. I hope the beer was good.

It is too late for the shipment collection today so I will get the parcel on the way to you on Monday.

Regards
Paul

Item received, and installed! Sounds great!

The installation was dead simple. Hope the regs are as simple to install

One of my SR7EHD-21/27 including an annealed copper DC lead with silver plated XLR is available second hand for £400. You can have a one year parts and labour guarantee on this. Packing and shipping cost will be £35 in the UK (I can quote for overseas shipping if required) and any funds transfer fees that may be necessary for payment will also have to be paid. The inter bank fast payment transfer is fee free in the UK if your bank supports this. For other payment options PM me.

Initially I set up Paul Hynes Design to provide high performance DIY regulator modules and small power supplies for enthusiasts to upgrade their audio equipment. Everything was built to order, and the funding for the materials purchase, assembly/admin costs, were provided by customers at the time of order to avoid the need for bank funding. This worked well for while and sales by word of mouth kept increasing.

Enquiries for larger and more specialised custom built power supplies increased so I began designing and introducing these to the product range. Sales kept increasing as the power supplies gained popularity.

Custom build is not the same as buying a product “off the shelf” where the product exists and can be shipped out soon after payment. Often the custom built item has to be designed and built from scratch. This takes time and as sales increase it inevitably generates a queue, which is OK as long as people are aware of this. Unfortunately I found out the hard way that things do not always go according to plan and a number of unpredictable events beyond my control have played havoc with my work schedule particularly over the last few years. This has caused disappointment to many customers along the way, who have had lead time delays, sometimes considerable, and I have decided that this situation can no longer continue. I am therefore closing down the Custom Build service. All outstanding orders will of course be completed, and I will be processing these as quickly as possible.

To ensure that the more popular power supply products will remain available for customers I have already started transferring these products for manufacturing under license by Paul Hynes Audio Ltd on the UK mainland. More products are scheduled for transfer this Autumn.

I am also changing the way the regulator modules for DIY upgrades are provided by Paul Hynes Design. These will no longer be “custom built to order”. In future I will be having these made in small batches and will be offering them from stock only. This will mean that modules in stock can be shipped out within a few working days from placing the order. If they are not in stock you will not be able to order them. A new website is in preparation for Paul Hynes Design DIY products and this will include an e-shop with a shopping cart.

I know a number of customers have become very frustrated with order delays and for this I can only apologise. I would like to thank all my customers who have been patient with the logistical problems that have occurred over the last few years with Custom Build. There is a lot of work to do to clear outstanding orders and get all the above reorganisation in place and I hope your patience and support will continue through this period of reorganisation.

The second is the Altmann Attraction NOS DAC full spec with clocks up to 192kHz and JISCO jitter reduction (current retail £3250) with the PH regulator modifications (£180) and a Modified SR3-12 for the master supply (£270). I will accept £1,000 or nearest offer.

I can ship to most countries and will be pleased to quote for insured tracked signed for shipping. Paypal payment accepted but you will have to pay the paypal fee. Bank transfer also accepted, with a bank transfer handling fee of £6 from my bank and I will provide the account details if this method of payment is chosen.
