Sounds like you boys had a good day - look forward to hearing more about it. :)

It was probably one of the most revealing listening sessions I've ever enjoyed, Alex :)
When I returned from Martin's place on Saturday night, Paul's new (250VA transformer-equipped) SR7-EHD PSU had arrived in the post... My goodness, you want to see how ridiculously massive and over-specced it is for a T/T PSU. I've seen smaller and much lighter power amplifiers!!
And just when you think things can't really get any better, plugging the SR7-EHD (standing for 'Extra Heavy Duty') into the Techy, shatters that illusion once more... It never ceases to amaze me just how influential the role of power supplies are in the musical presentation of hi-fi equipment. Bloody hell... :eek: :eek:
In fact, one of these smilies is probably more appropriate: :lol:, oh go on then, let's have another couple: :lol: :lol:
More details later, with pics!
Marco.
Stoppit, Marco! My shopping list has grown already (as has yours). I'll be selling organs if this goes on...
Seriously, it will be interesting to see whether the Paul Hynes internal regulator set (PR3 plus 3 x mini regs) with the SR5 set to 27V, can match your SR7-EHD running on its own at 21V. I'll get started on this project soon, complete with photos.
Lol, I know... But this is more fun (almost) than sex!! :bum: :eyebrows:
Yup, Paul mentioned about being able to increase the voltage level, as you have described.
Indeed, I can't wait to hear how you get on with the internal regulator mods. I think the idea is that you can use the SR7-EHD together with those mods, no?
If they're successful, as no doubt they will be, I'll ask Anthony to fit them to my T/T :)
Marco.
This looks very interesting, I 'm about(2 weeks) to place an order with Paul for a SR7EHD, looking forward to your review. :eek:

Is it easy to change to the Furutech tonearm cable, or is it a bit of work?Quote:

The AG-12 is, quite simply, the most musically involving sounding tonearm cable I've heard. Basically, it gets the balance between analysis and 'musicality' spot on, so that one obtains forensic insight into recordings, and as a result can hear deep into the mix, without the presentation ever straying into being clinical.
If you can afford it, buy with confidence!

I'm sure that David would give AoS members a little discount :cool:

Marco - that photo is intriguing, because it shows a straight-in plug rather than the angled plug that yours has. Therefore it seems that I could fit one to my arm.
Oh yes, didn't I say? It's available with both straight and angled connectors :)
Like you Martin, I love silver cables, when done well - and the AG-12 is a fine example of such. As you heard yourself, it just makes for sheer musical magic!
