Is anybody here using Tripoint Orion or Spartan A/C conditioner? I'm impressed with the Troy Signature and I'm curious if these passive A/C cleaning devices work just as well and what exactly are the benefits.

Hi Marcus,

I have heard the all Tripoint system a number of years ago at Audio Exotics. I recall at the time they said for the money, the regular Troy was better money spent than on the much bigger, more expensive power conditioner. Now that you have the Troy Signature...of course, now what?

Speaking for myself, the only power conditioners i was considering were: Shunyata, Tripoint and Burmester. Not for any reason other than all the remarkably positive things about these. I went with Burmester because i was blessed to come across one second hand from a trusted source. So it cost me far less than a new Shunyata or Tripoint system...so that is me done. But i personally was very impressed by the sound AE got that day, and i know Tripoint was a big part of it...and that includes the gi-normous Tripoint Spartan Power Conditioner.

Marcus, I can't help w/any tech info or opinions, but a number of the Audio Exotics Asian uber fi crowd seem to be preferring the JMF as well as Pranawire Linebacker/XE over Spartan/Orion.

Yes I know, I have read the AE forum. But there is very little info for the Orion and Spartan in the first place. Some on the Audiogon and even less on AE. Nothing compared to the Troy SE threads all over...

Marcus, there was some initial buzz on line that Orion and Spartan were unbeatable, but as with all things uber hi end, now there are "superior" devices. I think Troy is getting the lion's share of feedback.

I have my entire system plugged into the Spartan. Whereas the Troy categorically made everything sound better, the Spartan lets you hear your system and the recording. Recommended.

It is. I also think the NVS power cables into the Spartan, cables grounded through Troy, are important.

I had the Lessloss Firewall first model with 8 outlets for a few years and sold it to a Swiss guy that had a Blue Circle Audio. He was so happpy because the Lessloss smoked his trusty BCA he sent me emails to tell me that after he installed it in his system. For my part I replaced the Lessloss by the Bybee Stealth for 2 years and then replaced it by the new Bybee Holographic (new technology).
I have to say these Bybees are the best conditionners I ever heard. Much much better than LessLoss ans I am surprised people don't speak more about them.
