He said it should be ready on the third week of January but has said it'd be ready in the past as well. beautiful music 1 Link to comment

limniscate Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 I think the actual wait time is usually 8+ months. Link to comment

Given the normal route Paul’s packages take, as described by austinpop earlier, I’d love to know how this one got through so quickly. Are we talking specially chartered helicopters/planes etc? Anyway, great news for you. Did you go for the silver dc lead? We’re all looking forward to your first report, but will fully understand if you choose not to give testing the SR4 top priority over xmas? Thanks!.. Paul must have used this high speed delivery service.. http://media.riffsy.com/images/b9eb059b80f7fdc653f445028780aac6/tenor.gif Yes ordered the silver version of DC cable.. and will to try it out in different configurations.

Surely a depressing in a way, but surely worth while if it live up to all of your expectations. I have been waiting for a couple of shunt regulators with starquad Kelvin cables and plugs for roughly 3 months now...and not expecting a delivery until April. Once in a while this hobby needs patience! ? Link to comment

austinpop Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 I had a delivery issue with UPS, and Eric helped me out by going in my stead and wrestling the SR4 away from them, while I wing my way to Mexico! in return, he gets to enjoy and burn in my SR4 while I’m gone. Can’t wait to try it. Cornan 1 My Audio Setup Link to comment

Just in case make sure to use this email address: [email protected] Paul has always replied to my questions etc within a few hours I would love to have a SR7 but the wait is too long, so when the SR4 came along I couldn't resist as I've always wanted a PHynes (even though I don't really need one) Cornan 1 Topaz 2.5Kva Isolation Transformer > EtherRegen switch powered by Paul Hynes SR4 LPS >MacBook Pro 2013 > EC Designs PowerDac SX > TNT UBYTE-2 Speaker cables > Omega Super Alnico Monitors > 2x Rel T Zero Subwoofers.

Cornan Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Please tell me that the SR4 is worth waiting for. I have been waiting for ever for it to be released. Not sure I can wait much longer. My Brooklyn DAC is getting old. Already a + version available! ? Link to comment

Cornan Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 BTW @tapatrick Could you try the LT3045s in series after the Paul Hynes SR4. I am quite curious how that turns out? ? With that said if there was any setup I would want to copy-cat on CA it would be yours! Thanks for all the awesome tips! ? You're one of the hidden treasures here on CA. I would urge people to listen to your advices. Link to comment

You're one of the hidden treasures here on CA. I would urge people to listen to your advices. You are too kind Micael. Yes I'm planning to test the SR4 against my modded Teradak and LT3045 chains, with and without the LT's, not sure I want to know the answer! but you have to try. Either way something will have to give way. I am running the SR4 in for a few days..

You are one of the most generous posters I've come across online. I've also learnt from everyone on CA around the world who freely shares their trials and discoveries and its what makes this pursuit so worthwhile and interesting. Special thanks to Tubelover2 on other forums who sadly has vanished after many years of sharing great discoveries. Now what I really would like to do is compare my mad USB chain with someone who has a trifecta. Maybe in the new year on the Trifecta thread, after I get my new Decware amps, I will see if anyone in my part of the world has such a setup. If it is better than what I'm listening to, it must be really something worth investing in. Happy 2018 to all!

ALRAINBOW Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 A few questions plesee the main board can use 19 or 12 volts ? it only needs this voltage input ? Then the Main bOard must have its own regulated psu output for chip set usb buss cpu voltage ram buss so how is this better than the same 19 volts into a hdplex 400 watt dc to atx onto mainboard through atx plug and cpu plug ? Confused ? Link to comment

Confused ? If you're asking about my mainboard, yes it can use 19v or 12v. Either of those voltages input. The board does regulate that power. The difference is in the noise input from the source 19v/12v PSU. These 2 posts will help you understand. Audio System Link to comment

Confused ? Hi Al, Good question. Something has to synthesise the multiple voltages required by the motherboard. With a single voltage DC input board that is likely to be done by cheap DC to DC circuits on the board itself, where the hdplex and other external solutions can be used to provide improved performance, at least in theory. I don't know anyone that has measurements of onboard power characteristics of a single DC input board. It is much easier to test the external solutions, so that has been done extensively. So I would suggest you are not confused, and that we don't have enough information to know the best way forward. Pareto Audio aka nuckleheadaudio Link to comment
