Additively, each of these improvements result in a sense of ease, naturalness, and relaxed realism that I think is very noticeable and addictive.
Having now heard the TQR in my system I wouldn’t want to go back.
Putting the parallel-connected Typhon back in the system is just a little more icing on the cake.
FWIW, I’m using a Sigma NR to connect from wall to TQR and I agree with the previous post that the Sigma NR sounds a more neutral and transparent power lead than the excellent Sigma HC, which is by no means objectionably colored and remains a great power cord. I’d add that the TQR seems to follow along the same lines — a bit more neutral and transparent and a tad less warm than the original Typhon.
Hope this proves useful to those considering a Typhon QR.

That was a nice write-up.
Did you put the original Typhon back into your system by plugging it into a wall outlet?
