Paul Hynes power supply?

I have been shopping for a 4 rail power supply. Every review I have read says the paul hynes is the best. Paul has quoted me for a 4 rail sr7, 4 silver dc leads, shipping, insurance and paypal fees a little over $2100. This is a big investment, about two and a half times more than an hdplex. Anyone have experience with power supplies, and tell me if the paul hynes is worth it?

If you don’t need big current and it’s for source equipment, get two and you and save a fortune if you can solder and get the kit form, or ready made and still much cheaper than $2100

(not to take anything away from Paul he makes very good stuff as well)

Cheers George

The Paul hynes supplies are considered the rolls royce of power supplies from what I read. Can't find any reviews on the twisted pear power supplies. How good are they? Say, compared to an hdplex?

In addition to the SR7 I have several Twisted Pear current-shunt regulators to power a Twisted Pear Buffalo IISE DAC and a Lightspeed optical attenuator. The TP pieces sound good, but don’t offer the current capacity of the Hynes regulators. Moreover, Hynes uses a custom wound transformer, as compared to an off-the-shelf toroid for TP.
