Tripoint Audio Grounding Component
Anyone on AA familiar with these products? I started thinking about grounding years ago because I noticed all of my components have a ground post that i never paid attention to. I have read post after post about signal cables but not much about grounding. I started to look into things and came across Tripoint Audio.
Miguel Alvarez started Tripoint in 2008 and just recently released the Tripoint Troy Elite grounding component that is said to eliminate EFI/RFI from the signal and significantly enhance reproduced music. Miguel has sold Tripoint all over the world and his work can be seen at the AudioExotics website. I have known Miguel for a few years and was close to pulling the trigger until my wife became pregnant and all stereo dreams were put on hold. Three and a half years later and 2 sons, I have finally oredered a Tripoint Troy Elite with 5 Thor SE grounding cables. A cable for each monoblock, K-01X, G-01, and pre. I'm really excited to hear it in my system this January. |

Not personally only by online mention and talking with Miguel several times over the years. Fan feedback seems to be extremely positive. Congratulations on your purchase and happy holidays!

Happy Holidays! Tripoint seems to be well known overseas and I have only come across one unit on the pre-owned market. I have spoken to a number of owners whose ears I trust that swear by his tech. Anything on the horizon for you in 2018? Dave |

Not familiar with TriPoint, but the box looks impressive. I am a major believer and user of a grounding system, curious on your comments once you install. Consider pausing for each connection and hearing how the sound changes as you add each grounding wire. Best! |

I've looked at Entreq and Tripoint plus others and the cost particularly is prohibitive and scary to me plus the overt size of the larger ground cables (I have enough issues with the size of the other cables in my system ) seems out of proportion to their function but I could be dead wrong here. I've looked intently at Shunyata's approach of integrating the grounding device/plane directly into the power distributor (Denali and Triton) together with their new levels of grounding cables, and this strikes me as brilliant and 'about damn time...' someone brought the 2 (component) worlds officially together. All that aside, grounding is an important way I've been able to drop the noise floor in my system a bit further and in very noticeable ways for over a decade. I'd advise it for anyone looking to improve their system. |

I hear you on the price but I'm hoping it does what everyone says it does. I took a leap of faith and ordered one after talking with an audio friend in the Netherlands and buying his Thor cables. I have spoken with a few different people with different tastes, setup, and equipment that have all come to the same conclusion...its an essential piece that they would not want to be without. The Thor cables are about the size of my thumb and they are dense! Miguel personally makes them and the guy is an absolute perfectionist. I'm all in on grounding at this point. Keep me posted on the Grandioso
Happy New Year! Dave |
