New Paul Hynes SR5 Power Supply

[Ammonite Audio]

My new Paul Hynes SR5 PSU has arrived, for service with my Kenwood KD-770D. It's a much bigger, heftier and more powerful beast than the SR3 that I have had for some times, and which Marco is presently using to great effect on his Technics. Work commitments mean that it will be next week before I can do much with it, but I shall let everyone know how I get on. The SR5 is rated at 4A continuous current, with enormous transient current capacity (which Paul would have to confirm). I do think that the Kenwood will like it! Here it is with the SR3 for comparison:

Nice one Hugo! When you get a chance, I (and AOS) would like to hear all about how it compares with the SR3 (and the Timestep you had before it)

Paul's in the process of building me an SR5 for evaluation (it's nice isn't it when manufacturers are confident enough to do that with their products? ), which I'll be using at Flatpopely's T/T bake-off at the end of July, and which it's likely I'll end up buying for my Techie.

Quite frankly, in my system, the SR3 makes the stock Timestep PSU sound broken, so goodness knows what the SR5 will do!!

Marco.

It's too long since I had the Timestep to make any comparisons; also although the Timestep did work with the Kenwood (it provided 21v against the ideal 23.4v) I never did a back-to-back evaluation against the SR3. On the Technics, though, my preference was clearly for the SR3, as you know.

So why mention anything at all?

[Marco]

Hi Francis (I believe?),

i was saying that some people lost money in dealings with the above mentioned engineer , i dont want to go into details

I'm afraid that you cannot make such comments without providing evidence that confirms your claims, as well as exact details of what you're referring to.

Therefore I must ask that you do so, or I will have to remove your (potentially libellous) remarks.

ok remove remarks i am not going into details ,i was asked to clarify what i ment and i did and i was better saying nothing please remove remarks ,i will make no more comment on it sorry for offending

[Marco]

Done. I'm afraid it's pointless making remarks like that unless you're willing to substantiate them.
