The Paul Hynes SR4 is a production model; see his recent email
comments to me:
" The new SR4 is intended as a stock item with 10 units per month
introduced to stock. As long as the SR4 is in stock it should normally be
shipped out within 3 working days from order placement. If the SR4 is out of
stock during the month of your enquiry, I can place your name on the waiting
list for the next available SR4 unit and notify you when it is available. The
next production batch of SR4 with available units is scheduled for manufacture
during the last week in February with shipment occurring during the following
week."
If you are looking for one of his other models, such as SR5 or SR7, then
expect a wait. I emailed him at: paul@paulhynesdesign.com and
got a very prompt and detailed response.
I have been looking for a good 15V / 2A linear power supply for my tube DAC (4
- EC86's) and feel like it would be hard to go wrong with a Paul Hynes unit. I
am currently fascinated by another British manufacturer, Custom Hifi Cables
Ltd, their dc2 or dc3 models
( http://www.custom-hifi-cables.co.uk/home/power-supplies/-dc2-dc-power-supply ).
Mojo Audio has factory reconditioned Joule v5.0 models at good prices &
warranty but I have yet to hear from anyone who has had one ( https://www.mojo-audio.com/specials/ ,
there is also one on Audiogon for less). I will go back and find some other
brands that are intended for audio but quite reasonably priced.
Linear Power Supply for a DAC
I’m looking for a recommendation for a Linear Power Supply for a Chord DAC. There are some units available in the UK, but I’d rather find one here in the USA.
The DAC is the Chord QuteHD DSD Dac and I’m currently using the stock wall-wart.
Power supply specs are: 12v, 1A, 2.1mm connector. The DAC has a grounding post if needed.
I found this Teddy Pardo model, and the specs say power output “up to 2A.” Would this be a good match for my DAC?

Looking for quality, but wouldn’t mind finding something less expensive than the Pardo.

To Audioengr - Steve Nugent, regarding your comment: "The digital LPS should be very fast reacting to provide the current transients for digital. I recommend the Sbooster supplies. Analog supply should be quiet, can be slower responding but input noise rejection is important. Paul Hynes supplies do the best job of this." What power supply specification or other property could one use to tell if one supply is faster than another. I am also looking for a very good linear power supply for my Acoustic Plan Digimaster DAC which uses 4 - EC86 tubes and has a 15V ? 2A DC input. Do power supplies have different "sound signatures" (if that's the right term). Acoustic Plan makes an optional linear power supply, the Powermaster, that will run two of their components but it costs $2000. |
