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?

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.

I won't say nothing, Twisted Pair are very good. You were the one that mentioned the "big" $2100 cost of Paul's alternative.

The HDPlex is a generic audio LPS. It supplies power and the ripple is low. Other than that, nothing special, it certainly shouldn't be held as a standard.

The Paul Hynes is made to get out of the way altogether. Low low impedance. Nothing beats it. Plenty of info on CA.
