Shunyata Triton/ Typhon

So much for my response. The expert answered at the same time.

Thank you for your response Frank. It is always a bit more credible when people with actual experience, like yourself, chime in.

My amp is the Atma-Sphere S-30 that pulls 400 watts. My preamp is the Audio Horizons TP 2.3 that pulls 65 watts. Would there be a problem plugging them into the Triton with the Typhon also plugged into it?

One of the major magazine is reviewing the TRITON/TYPHON system with TYPHONs connected to mono-block amps as we have described. Can't say who it is doing the review yet but watch for it before the end of the year.

Caelin there are a lot of us here who already have been doing this with audible sonic improvements. We have all pretty much written our reviews here

If you couldn't plug your preamp into a Triton there would be little reason to buy it!

I have my entire front end equipment including my dual mono dual PS preamp plugged into the Triton along with the Typhon

The TRITON can handle the full current capacity of a 20A dedicated circuit. If the circuit breaker in the wall can handle it - the TRITON can handle. It uses an electromagnetic breaker that can operate at its continuous current limit for extended periods of time because it does not heat up as a fuse or common thermal breaker does.

The TYPHON does not pull any current. It's noise reduction technology is unique and patented. There is no measurable inductance, resistance or capacitance so the TYPHON is not a reactive device that might adversely affect a component's operation as is the case with conventional power conditioners.

If you are interested in the operation of the TRITON/TYPHON technology, please read the patent. It is not particularly difficult to read and understand.

You can plug your amps into a Triton. The Triton is not current limiting so I don't see where it would be a bad thing. I had my Pass Xs300s plugged into a Triton/Typhon to try it out and it sounded fine. Not many amps going to pull more current than the Xs300s. I seem to recall Caelin saying it wasn't the best solution for amps but I could be wrong.

The Pass draws 1000 watts. If it sounded OK I imagine I will have no problem.

You should be fine with the S-30.

 

[Duke of Earl]

You should be fine with the S-30.

Thank you for letting me know.

I used to have one dedicated line and a Triton. At that time I had the CD player, file player, DAC, pre-amp, and two Pass Labs X600.5 amps plugged into the Triton, and it sounded great. However, if I played music at a crazy volume then the breaker would trip. I added a second 20 amp line along with a Cyclops for both amps, and it sounded great, but now that breaker trips at a crazy volume level. So, I added another dedicated 20 amp line, and another Cyclops, and now it really sounds great. Plus the breaker no longer trips. Unfortunately, now I toasted the tweeter and mid-range on my right Magico S5.

No resistors on the S5 to prevent that from happening.

You must play really loud my friend

I struggle with the typhon vs exotic ground box approach...aka entreq, tripoint....perhaps both are required ?
Perhaps they address different and/or similar line noise issues that affect audio playback ? Perhaps the ground boxes address chassis ground vs signal ground issues and the typhon does not ? I don't have a good enough handle w/o trying either or both approaches at the same time. Buying the products to find out is a bit disconcerting.

Not any more. I learned my lesson.

To be honest, I was amazed at how well they sounded before they broke. I was just getting ready to turn the volume down when it occurred. It turns out the Pass XP-20 pre-amp is calibrated between 0-83 for volume. I was at the max, but I thought there was still headroom with the pre. I would never have thought someone would use a 0-83 scale for volume control.

Neither is an inexpensive proposition. A Typhon with umbilical for each Xs150 will cost you around $15k. I also have 4 Stillpoints Ultra 5s screwed into each Typhon and a Zoethecus amp stand under each as well. Yes, insanity!

Tripoint SE with the grounding cables you'll need will run you at least $15k, probably more. Entreq has no presence in the US so I wouldn't even consider them.

Thanks for letting me know. Since I don't play music beyond about 65bd I imagine I'll be fine. My hearing is very sensitive since I have always protected my ears. I can still hear 16,000Hz.

Tima, thanks for letting me know.

I use Bybee products to good effect with the Triton. I notice they lower the noise floor even further and improve many other parameters.

Very beautiful installation! Thank you for sharing it.

Entreq is distributed in the US by Stillpoints.
