started listening to the Troy Signature around 8 pm last night. listened till 11pm last night, then today since early.
I have the Thor Reference grounding cable connected to the phono ground post on my dart pre, and a standard silver grounding cable connected to the Tara Grandmaster grounding system on the Golden Gate. the Thor power cable is currently plugged into it's own dedicated outlet (Furutech GTX-D (R) -> Equi=tech).
a place to start.
from the first note this is awesome. it's a whole new ballgame, anything but subtle, and I'm still getting my brain around trying to define the ways it makes the sound better, and the music more real. for now I just want to experience it and enjoy what I'm hearing. and try not to analyze it. but my brain is reacting to new information and new degrees of realism in every recording.
lower noise; yes. more dynamic; yes. better flow and timing; yes. but more than that it seems to supercharge the musical energy.
I just grounded the power supply of the NVS tt. I need to go to the hardware store and find a small screw so I can ground the stainless steel arm board of the tone arm.
I'm very impressed.
As the person who started this thread I am happy that you are experiencing the same as I and many others did when we inserted the Tripoint Troy for the first time in our systems and - in my case - as well as a Tripoint emperor in my other audio system. For the latter, that is the Tripoint emperor, see the separate WBF thread I dedicated to the Tripoint emperor. The emperor adds a whole new dimension to the concept of 'grounding'.
Once your Tripoint Troy has fully settled it will get (even) better, I promise you Mike! I am sure you are not completely there yet.
And like Norm and I described earlier in this thread: adding more Thor se grounding cables will elevate things even further.
Waiting for Miguel to finish his 'uber' top of the line emperor grounding cable. Miguel and I talked about this cable a lot the last couple of months and I have no doubt whatsoever that this emperor ground will be something extraordinary.
And as I have mentioned before: insert one or more Tripoint devices in your audio system because without them you have not heard the full potential of your system!
