PSU for SL-1210 with pics

[Marco]

Hi Leo,

Certainly agree regarding the most important parameter and for me its doing a grand job in that area...

Could you explain what you're referring to?

Cheers!

Marco.

Sorry Marco,

Technicians tend to get techie without realising it sometimes. In bullet points the SR3-21 is :-

1. Very quiet.
2. Very good at mains noise rejection.
3. Very quick at reacting to load transients.
4. Capable of large transient current delivery.
5. Capable of high musical performance when used with the SL1200.

God, I’m beginning to sound like a salesman.

I think I will just let you be the judge and prepare an SR3-21 for you. I have booked it into the build schedule and will let you know when it is ready.

The SR3 now uses the heavy-duty output mosfet. Hugo’s unit was made before I introduced this upgrade, primarily to make the supply more rugged for powering class T amps like the Virtue Audio range. Happily it will ensure plenty of current for future platter upgrades, although the earlier version was no slouch in this area and should have more than enough current capability for the job at hand.

I live at the edge of the known world (The Isle of South Uist). Any further West and you fall off the edge. I am afraid it is an expensive two day round trip to Glasgow from here and time is not on my side at present. If we cross paths in the future I will be pleased to get the beer in.

The most important parameter of all is the effect the SR3 power supply had on the sound of your music when fitted to your SL1200. It doesn’t really matter what the power supply measures like as long as it delivers sound quality.

Hi Paul,

That's great, and thanks for clarification of what you were referring to earlier in 'laymans' terms

Just pop me a PM when its ready - no rush; make sure you fulfil your existing schedule of work first.

South Uist, eh? Goodness me, what took you out that way - were you born there?

I've been to Skye and Orkney (which I both adored), but I would guess that South Uist is even more remote, but probably just as beautiful. Any nice fresh fish and seafood where you are for sale locally, or is that a daft question?

Hi Marco,

I wasn’t born in South Uist, but I do feel spiritually settled here. It is a wild and beautiful place with a nice clean environment. The lobster, crab, scallops, cockles, fish, scenery and sunsets are to die for.

It is a little remote, but there is a good infrastructure in the Western Isles, and I don’t miss the mainland rat race at all. The pristine fine white shell sand beaches here on the Westside are first class and you can walk them without seeing a soul most of the time. The same isolation is available in the hills. Due West from my house is Canada so the Atlantic storms can be a bit tricky from time to time, but you get used to them after a while.

My nearest neighbour is about a hundred yards away, so no conflict with the sound system. The downside is no real ale for most of the year as it is not worth the local hotels stocking it in winter. I will have to start importing some kegs. Any reclamation yards got any working hand pumps in as I am in the market for one?

I’m not coming back to the mainland.

Paul

Hi Anthony,

Thanks for the support on the Scalford Hall Show thread. I have a low res pics I managed to salvage of an old hard drive.



We made the footprints. This is our own personal swimming pool.

Hi Anthony,

There are a lot more beaches like this, some of them miles long, but we prefer the small coves. Nice and cosy, great for a barbecue and the water is not too cold to swim in the summer. I have found some more pics but I will refrain from posting them here, as they are somewhat off topic. I will post a few in the Abstract Gallery when I get some spare time.
