Spotforscott,

Did Paul confirm this ? Because I'm #24 and my delivery date is way beyond (according to an update I received beg. of September)

 

I have not asked for confirmation recently. He gave me that start build date at the end of August. I have never asked him how long a build takes once he starts the build (I assumed it would be a week or two but I may be way off with that). I will reach out to him and get an update and post an update here

@paulhynesThanks very much for the update. Sorry to hear about all of your stresses and family concerns. Sounds like you have a lot of positive head though  Hang in there... thx

[spotforscott]

For those who have a PH SR7, have you experimented with different AC Powercords? 

[spotforscott]

@str-1Thanks for your thoughts. Sounds like it will respond to a good PC. I plan on trying with an AQ Hurricane

I was quoted £480 to upgrade a single rail SR7DRXL.  I presume the amount varies depending on the build specification.

 

At that cost, I would need to hear how about impact on sound from someone like Roy @romaz

@paulhynes Thanks for the update 

[spotforscott]

I've heard second hand that he is up and running. His shop has apparently passed all inspections. Again, heard this second hand so it may or may not accurate. Paul @paulhynes, can post a message here to update us? thx

[spotforscott]

Hi Paul, thanks for the update. Sorry to hear about the pain, that really sucks. Good that you are getting it taken care of.

I have Build 16 and haven't received it yet. Hope Paul is OK.

Yeah, @paulhynes has been very quiet. Bit worried. Hopefully, we will hear from him soon...

I had a poor experience recently when adding JSSG 360 to my SR7 DIY DC cable:

 

Started with 4 x Neotech 18AWG OCC solid core copper in starquad formation. Soldered to a Jaeger connector at SR7 end (2 wires per pin), and an el cheapo screw terminated 2.5mm plug at Hugo M-scaler end. About 0.6m long, no grounding.

Sounded great, but I haven't compared to any other cable yet.

 

I then added JSSG 360 and got worse SQ across the board (flatter, more smeared, reduced detail/dynamics etc).

I assumed I was imagining it, so let it run for a few days, but SQ remained disappointing.

So I removed the JSSG 360 and SQ immediately improved - it was very obvious, no further A/B comparisons needed.

 

I can imagine that there may be some circumstances where JSSG 360 would not give much improvement, but I can't see how it could ever make things worse. Any ideas?

 

Same experience as you with DC cables that come with JS-2
