Yep - I saw Marco's SR7 and immediately asked Paul to delete the front heatsink on mine. It doesn't need it for the Technics application and will reduce the PSU's bulk and weight somewhat.

Your probably correct but it sure does look mean! :eek:Quote:

One thing though, Andrew, you need to get the SR7 up off of the floor and onto some sort of support, which offers isolation, or your T/T won't sound as good as it should.
No equipment, in a high-end hi-fi system, should ever be sat on the floor!
Marco.
Marco,
Its sitting there because I have to check its voltage, Paul cant remember if it was 21V or 27V when he set it up so I'm gonna have to open it up and use a multimeter to check the voltage ;) I'm pretty good with the old carpentry skills and I have a few bits of timber & MDF in the garage so watch this space for a home-made stand specially made for the SR7 :eek:
Andy
Nice one, Andy. Just trying to keep you right! ;)
Marco.
Andy - you don't need to open it up unless the voltage is incorrect. Just put your multimeter probes into the socket at the back.

Right, the SR7XL PSU is now installed and all I can say is that after 5 minutes I noticed the following things :-
1. Lower surface noise, the old timestep PSU used to pick up every single crackle on vinyl known to man which I thought was actually a weakness of my old audiotechnica cartridge.
2. Bass has a greater impact.
3. Intrsuments have better seperation. I have a torture track on the latest dream theatre album, the 1st track on side 2 which has an incredible section where several million notes are fired at you at once. The old timestep PSU whilst it made a decent ham of the track failed to properly seperate everything, the SR7 seemed to seperate things very easily indeed. It was the first time the the track didnt seem congested. That's impressive.
Just a few musings. I'm off to have a decent listen and see what I can come up with!
Hi Andrew, Which of your carts are you listening with, is it the Cadenza Black ?
Nope its the Audio technica (as in my sig). I thought I'd mount it and see how it sounded and to be truthful its gone up in my estimation but I think its the PSU rather then the cart :D
