The Paul Hynes SR4 PSU

[greenleo]

Hi Paul,

 

I've sent you emails in the past 3 days in order to buy an SR4 but get no reply so far.  Anything wrong?

[greenleo]

Thank you very much Jiffii32!

 

Where is the SR7 thread?

Thanks for your reply as it does offer the peace of mind that nothing dramatic is going on (just a succession of minor setbacks I imagine) and that I'm not the only one a little in the dark!

 

Lots are in the dark.  pls read the SR7 thread. Lol.

@Confused, burning the SR4 now?

😁 Yes, it is indeed a bit of a woo hoo moment!  I ordered them in October, thinking they would be a nice Christmas gift to myself.  Five months later and they finally arrive.  Anyway, I am very much looking forward to trying them at the weekend.  Once they have had some time to settle in, I will post any listening impressions that I have versus the sPS-500 which is currently (accidental pun) powering my SOtM kit.

Confused,

 

Did you order the SR4 in early Oct or late Oct?

I ordered mine Mid-october and received it on Friday. 

 

Haven't had chance to try it yet but I'm happy it's arrived!

That sounds great!

Anyone with an April production date heard anything yet? I wrote Paul a couple of times earlier this month about the cable part of my order and didn’t get a response.

Don't worry.  It's too early as usual and please check other threads as well.

Uncalled for. And specifically which other threads?

 

Production is ostensibly scheduled for the last 10 days of the month, and the last we heard in February Paul was catching up that month on back orders. At the time I ordered, Paul answered emails within minutes to two or three days, so his lack of response in April about the specifics of an order - whether or not to alter something - raises fair question about where things stand, reminiscent of last year. Plus, there's no law of physics, biology or anything else that assures our orders, or even return of several hundred dollars paid. So there's good reason to be wondering about possibilities, as well as about how putting everything on hold for this order and its sound effects is influencing other decisions.

Please read the SR7 thread.  Quite a few CAers (among other people not CAers) ordered the SR4 and did not get it as the original promised schedule.  I did not say what Paul has been doing is right but just telling the facts. 

 

If it's reaching the end of the protection period of PayPal, one should consider to claim the money back.  This is the only thing that a buyer can do.

Thanks for posting that. Not sure why he didn’t post that here too, but now we know what’s going on, probably why no responses and where to keep an eye on.

 

@greenleo  Actually, you didn’t post any facts. A link, or even the name of a specific thread, would have saved us all some time.

@highstream I guess you're quite new in CA or quite new to search the SOTA LPS.  The PH's behavior is realtively well known in CA/AS.  Usually the buyer knows the behavior before the purchase.  I didn't post the link because it's well known to me and quite a few CAers who likes PH's LPS.  Given that the SR7 thread and the SR4 thread are under the same sub-forum, I thought that most CAers know them.

 

It's not uncommon to have an audio product that stated that the delivery time should be 3 months but the actual delivery took more than 2 years.  I'm not promoting this behavior nor finding it acceptable but when one wants to have the best, unfortunately, sometimes this is the price to pay for.  For some of these products, the maker handles the situation in a satisfactory manner and most of the buyers are satisfied, some makers don't and lots complaint were resulted.

 

PH's usual delay in my post was posted as a fact.  I do not understand why you said I didn't post fact.  Anyway, this is no big deal.  Even though I do not like the delay,  I try to be factual rather than condemning or judgmental.  A buyer should also use the protection period of the PayPal or any other protection wisely because this is more or less what we can do.

 

I do hope that anyone intended to deal with PH should know this beforehand.
