Me and the 1210 are gunna have us some me time....

Interesting one, Andy, about your old TS HE picking up every pop and crackle. As you know I use a TS HE and don't have this problem possibly because I go through a strict cleaning and degausing routine but it does leave me minutely feeling a little more is required (does that feeling every end?), by the way using an AT09IIml cartridge. I look forward to your further comments as I'm thinking along the same lines as MartinT... 'no heat sink'... I'm assuming of course that there is an on/off button to activate when not using the PH unit? My TS HE is left on 24/7 as are my amps.

You'll probably find that performance will improve as your new PSU beds in with continuous play.

Pleased for you mate .

The SR5 has an on/off rocker switch and I'm fairly sure I've seen the same switch on the SR7. I checked with Paul and he confirmed that the current draw of the Technics does not generate sufficient heat to warrant the giant heatsink in the SR7.

Your better half would be even more pleased with you if you turned everything off when not in use. I bet you'd save a fortune each quarter

Ron,

Thanks for the great comments! Paul has confirmed that most of the changes occur within the 1st month. The TS HE was an ok little PSU but I wanted more and the SR7 within 2 hours of usage has confirmed there is more. I always switch my amps and PSU off after every listening session, I'm not a subscriber to the leave everything on all the time brigade (no disrespect Ron ). The heatsink just came with the PSU, so its stopping on. I dont think it's going to have an impact on the sonics, and yes the SR7 has a rocker switch on its front so you can switch off when you like.

Internal regs coming in next few weeks Martin, oh $hit, more open heart surgery for the techie!

Yes and it would stop you giving the national grid a run for its money!

Are you doing them yourself, Andrew? Hopefully my photos might help. May your hand be steady and your eye good

Hush, hush Dave, she thinks I'm tappin' into next door's lekky

Martin, thanks for the info re: rocker switch; had a feeling there would be one.
As a matter of interest, does the PH psu run warm to hot after awhile of playing? At the Whittlebury show, last year, the MCFUS Tekky supply ran hot bottle warm. I assume the casing will be different for Paul's and does the lack of a heat sink mean it will cost a little less?

Cheers both

The SR5 barely ever gets warm to the touch so it has plenty of headroom - better for good regulation.

Yeah, doing them myself, although I think paul might be supplying some instructions or some pics, you'll certainly be the 1st port of call if I fcuk things up.

If Martin's not around for any reason, then you've also got Anthony TD, who fitted the reg boards on my T/T. He would also gladly help

I think what your observations have shown so far is how much of a toy the Timestep effort is, in comparison... Ron, you need to up the ante, mate, and get a proper man-sized PSU!

Marco, as soon as I recover from your enthusiastic endorsement of VEET and pubic hair re-appears on me underdungga rattlers I shall man up and go for the SR7 minus heat sink. I can manager fitting this on my own, using the missus's reknown soldering skills but the regulators will have to come later when I can get help.

Off now with me anglepoise lamp and high power magnifying glass in search of growth as aforementioned
