Typhon QR

Caelin, I understand the benefit of acronyms, having worked quite a long time in telecoms. My comment was sarcastic only to the extent to which acronyms are not meaningful. If a cryptic abbreviation must be used to make talking about a simple thing more interesting, power to you.

You just said it yourself, the Triton v2 grounding magic you praised and so elaborately filled with acronyms does not solve grounding issues. Some yes, others not. And I was talking about Nordost passive grounding. Did not want to pin it on your nose, but you asked.

My enquiry about the Triton arises from the fact that I saw a big box full of nothing on your stand in Munich. Peeking inside a Niagara is definitely more interesting.

Btw, IMHO an answer ‘read a book’ to someone who owns 10-15K worth of your products is an extremely weak one. But that’s just me.

I respectfully disagree. Reading materials that provide basic information about a subject is not disrespectful. And I certainly don't know what level your technical understanding is at. It may be well beyond the material I referenced. Furthermore, when I give you an answer on a forum it is not just for your specific benefit. It is for the many lurkers that don't have your level of understanding. Additionally, I did go on to answer your questions specifically. So don't take it as a insult because it is not meant that way.

JFYI, I have both the Niagra 7000 and the Niagra 5000. There are many approaches to solve an engineering problem. We have been making power distributors since the year 2000 with a modicum of success. We believe in a simple, non-reactance approach to power delivery. There are other more conventional approaches that have multiple stages of filtering and complexity. I prefer to let the performance of our products speak for themselves.

If you read my earlier post, I did not say your answer was disrespectful. I said it was a weak answer towards a customer. But in your subsequent answers you gave it a try, which is a nice gesture.

And I think I might follow your example and try out the Niagaras as well. Been happy with the Triton, but it is interesting to try out something new once in a while. Will report back.

Caelin, as long as you are in a question answering mode, I have one.

I have three 20 amp circuits, one for the source, and one for each amp. The source uses a Triton v3, and each amp has a Denali 2000T. The three circuits are on the same side of the panel.

All the gear, source and amps, are grounded to the Triton ground lugs. While it sounds great with no noise, hum, or any other negative side-effect, I do wonder if maybe I should redo the grounding.

In your opinion does it make sense to

1. Leave it as is. If it isn't broke then don't fix it.
2. Move the amp grounds from the Triton to the respective Denali.
3. Leave the amp grounds on the Triton, and add grounds from each Denali to the Triton.

Before I do anything other than number 1, I would like your opinion on which would make more sense. I can always experiment, but, being lazy, would rather listen to music.

Thanks.
 
Insofar as the TRITON v3 and new TYPHON QR are concerned, I can tell you from personal experiewnce here especially during my trial of the TYPHON here with a v3 TRITON that y'all should just try it and let the music speak for itself. It is doing so here in ways that I had not quite ever achieved before..."just sounds like music"!
 
I plan on soon giving one a try. If it makes the slightest improvement over the Typhon v1 then my CC will be in use. Add in a new Lumin in a few months, and I should be good for another 4-6 months. :)

That made me think of another grounding question. Should the Typhon be grounded to the Triton?
 
Caelin,
I got an offer of used D2000T, will it be a good idea to place D2000T before D6000S? I am thinking if QR/BB in D2000T will boost the performance of zone 1 and zone 2 in my D6000S.

thanks again for your advice

Plug the D2/T into the wall socket not the D6/S.
Use it to power your amplifier(s).

Use the the D6/T to power your source components.
Try the preamplifier into one of the HC outlets.

Thanks Caelin,
Initially I thought QR/BB in 2000T will have additive effect to 6000S QR/BB too :)
 
Caelin can let us know...

An outstanding review that reveals the brilliance and positive musical impact on a system when the TRITON v3 and TYPHON QR.

Owning both for months now I can tell you the review is an understatement!

Quantum Reserve / Ballistic Buffer

QR/BB is much easier.

This is a link to the US patent for those that are interested.

good thing that there is no complete name on the packaging, I can’t imagine the custom officer first reaction when they see “Ballistic” name on it :)

I have read the paper, I am wondering how long to completely “charge” (for optimum usage) and to “discharge” (for safety reason) the QRBB module inside Typhon QR.

There is no residual stored charge. Relatively speaking less than a couple milli-seconds

Caelin,

is there a possibility the typhon Qr could be scaled down to a more accessible Denali version ? Eg , an add on for existing Denali 6000 owners like the typhon or perhaps an even higher end Denali 7000 that would incorporate more of the typhon QR technology to the Denali line ?
 
The Denali has a smaller QR/BB built in.
It’s just that in this case - size does matter.
Bigger is better.
 
Is it possible to have special order of Typhon QR with normal duplex outlet? Because there are monoblocks with undetachable powercord (e.g. FM Acoustics etc)
 
I bought a used Typhon-QR on Audiogon and installed it yesterday. The TQR is connected to the wall and to a Denali 6000/s via the 1m Sigma umbilical. When I turned on my Esoteric C1X it detected "CHECK PWR!" electrical fault. I asked Shunyata about this and they replied over night to try connecting the TQR and Denali to the same wall duplex. In this parallel configuration the C1X is not detecting an electrical fault. It's only when the TQR is powering the Denali via the umbilical that the C1X is detecting an electrical fault. Noise rejection in parallel configuration (1800mV>350mV) is not quite as good as series configuration (1800mV>250mV) but at least my C1X is not detecting an electrical fault. It's interesting that the C1X is not happy with the Sigma umbilical.

Another thing that happened is I have a Pakedge P20 power distributor and when I connected it to the TQR it went kaput, so that needs to be replaced. Whether coincidence I don't know but it's a p.i.t.b. losing 20 power outlets in my server rack.
