The Paul Hynes regulator modules have landed, chez-Marco!

Hi Maks,

It's for disabling the strobe light (without removing it completely) - it's the last of the KAB mods I'd originally had carried out to the turntable :)

I think you'll be delighted with the effect of the regulator boards. Have you got, or are you getting, an SR7EHD to partner them?

Marco.

Oh, I see now. At first I thought it was part of regulators upgrade, but Paul didn't recognized it when I asked him about it :)

At the moment there are no founds left for such an upgrade as SR7EHD, as I have bought SR5 less than a year ago and I still didn't give it enough time for fully evaluated its superbness :)

I shall wait for next SR PS from Paul, I'm sure he wont stop here with SR7 :cool:

My order for an SR7EHD-27 is in with Paul ;)

I wonder how it will sound against the SR5-27, given that I have all the internal regs installed? My experience of PSUs is that you can never have enough 'grunt'.

Martin, have you opted for an XL version of SR7?

My guess is having such a huge PSU acts as the foundation for getting the best out of the reg's
I am sure like Marco upgrade this will be another step-up in performance:cool:

If by XL version you mean Clearsilver internal wiring, then yes. I already have a Clearsilver flying lead with 4-pin XLR connector. If you mean the different connector, then I prefer to keep with the 4-pin XLR standard.

Indeed, John, as I have all the internal regs done already the SR7 will be the final piece of the PSU upgrade for me.

Martin,

The XL version contains such goodies as :-

"I also make an XL version of the SR7EHD power supply and this uses Teflon boards for the regulator circuitry with rolled copper foils (not electro-deposited copper), Vishay bulk foil resistors and Silmic II capacitors. This level of build quality does start getting expensive, especially with one off orders for the Teflon boards."

The cost is about £1.4K

Hope this helps

Andy

Andy, this sounds kind of excessive seeing as there will be some very high quality regulators following the PSU itself inside the Techie :) Ok, I may be proven wrong, but with two stages of regulation & I'm assuming the same VA of transformer there isn't or shouldn't be the need to go nuts as there would be with just the PSU itself & no regulators following it.

Though if you want the last word in performance then I guess it's probably worth that extra outlay, though whether you'll hear the difference with another regulator (or more) following it I would draw into question...

That is for you to decide :cool:

Mark,

No worries mate! I'm happy to pay for what I'm getting!! I'll just have to see what performance the PSU gives me.
