Its a Beautiful setup, congrats. But I always wonder way speakers are not put more info the room, considering there would be an enourmous increase in how you percieve the scene and space between the musicians. Tetthet more out from the back will if possible
Nice set up! I am having a separate circuit installed for my HT gear and was interested in using Maestro outlets. Will I still benefit if the gear is plugged into my power conditioner which is then plugged into the Maestro? Or will the power conditioner negate the advantage of the better outlets? Thanks.
Hi Leon, great to have you by again. As usual your good taste in music and good ears are always welcome. The price / performance ratio is insane, another winner from BMC !
Hi Fernanda, thanks for the opportunity to be one of the first to audition the B.M.C. PureUSB1 cable, I was totally blown away by the detailing and resolution of the cable connected to the B.M.C. PureDAC. The bass was to die for. Listening to the Round Midnight track from the Clifford Jordan Live at Ethell's CD was a wonderful experience. I have been listening to that track for years (since early 2000's) from the same Mapleshade CD, and never before heard it so well reproduced, the Tenor Sax was so sweet and lush. After the listening session, I was completely sold on the cable and had to purchase one before leaving. Thanks again. Leon
Hi Loyd, I am considering them for a customers new Room build out. I need to get with Paul and get them in, heard good things about them and your experience with them validates that, thanks ! We have plenty of room treatment in our showrooms so no need for them here. We are anxiously waiting the arrival of some new Tripoint goodies as well !
I do experience better timing and coherency from the Thor, its ability to disappear and let the music through keeps me engaged. When it comes to tonal purity and naturalness this is where it excels over other conductor types. I've heard many conductors types in different configurations, but nothing as pure in its voicing. Other highlights are its openness, immediacy, instrument density and the ability to unveil more tonal shades which make the experIence closer to the real live event. Thor unleashes the Troy Signature and in return makes music sound beautiful. I listen to mainly Jazz music but I can definitely relate to your experience. Hope this helps.
Thanks...helpful. I noticed when I trialed the Entreq Atlantis cables (vs the regular Apollo grounding cables) that deep house syncopated rhythms became extremely intense, and you could REALLY appreciate the DJs had dropped the track back EXACTLY half a beat to create this DEEP, PULSATING SYNCOPATION. Way cool.
With regular Apollo cables, you just heard a series of staccato beats with an alternating rhythm. Amazing what these grounding cables can do.
Does that seem familiar to you when you try Thor's? Or is it more about clarity, tonality, naturalness? Thanks again.
Hi, the THOR technolgy is the most advanced in the Tripoint audio cables. The best way for me to illustrate the difference is that their is a dramatic improvement in the ability of the music's message, emotional enagement and overall naturalness of the presentation. It like the TROY is on steroids!! I use all THOR cables in my setup and have heard the same technology on prototype speaker cables at a friend's home and it was an amazing transformation of his system.
Can you comment about the difference between the regular grounding cable and the Thor grounding cable? What is the difference when you replace 1 regular cable with Thor...or add 1 Thor? Thanks!! Most curious about this...
HI I am interested in your experience with the Stage III Analord Phono cable. What have you compared it to. I am familiar with the Stealth Hyperphono, and the Hovland. Any comparisons you could offer?
HI Lloyd, The improvements are significant. There are a series of design and quality enhancements over the old MK1 and MK2 Troy which just makes this piece a BIG upgrade over the old units. In terms of what to expect in impact I would say the new Signature series will give you more , a lot more , of what the old Troy did. So far , I am hearing darker backgrounds, bigger soundstage, incredible bass articulation with thunderous dynamics a much, much, much greater ability to convey the emotion since there is greater level of grunge (EMi,RFI) interference removal from the components you ground. The New Signature Troy also has a built in Isolation platform which leads to much greater stability and effortlessness then the previous Troys. The Signature is truly magical ! with it you will be spinning your LPs or CDs for hours on hours and feeling the performance ! Having said this , you can get a used previous version and never audition the new Signature version and live very happy indeed.
