@Axel, sorry I missed your question; I don't have the XLR tool so I made one myself with, you won't believe it, an iPhone SIM card eject tool! I needed something thin, flat and sturdy. After a modification to this SIM card tool I could remove the XLR lever.
Hi Swissbear, I haven't decided yet. Let me copy-paste what I wrote in a different topic in the quote below.
Unfortunately my NAS PC has died sometime last night. I wanted to listen to some music earlier today so got my iPad but Roon couldn't connect to it's database. It's been rock stable thus far so I walked upstairs and noticed the computer was continuously switching on, 3s later off etc. etc.
Using parts from a different computer I've narrowed it down to the motherboard, an old Gigabyte with Intel H77 chipset. Motherboards with a 7 series chipset are no longer produced or available new anywhere in NL but I found a second hand Asus with Z77 chipset which I hope to receive Tuesday or Wednesday.

Where are you in terms of SQ with your super high level (and difficult to track through shipment) LPSU ?
Would you recommend others to modify their Mutec to remove the standard PSU ?

Quote:You're absolutely right, I still haven't shared any listening impressions of the Paul Hynes PSU yet. They'll come but since connecting it last week I've suffered "burn-in woes" (there's new regulator modules inside it) with the system clearly sounding different each day, at first bass was overwhelming, day later bass subsided to more normal levels but highs were a bit brittle so I'm giving it (or my brain ) time to settle. Since it's a power supply it's easy to burn in 24/7 by just leaving it (and the devices it powers) powered up.
This week I also haven't had time to listen to my system and when I could have I preferred running my airco since it's been 30+ degrees here in NL. Overal though there surely are very positive changes I've already heard however I think the microRendu itself will be this years winner for me. This weekend I'll probably "check" again.
