New Triton/Anaconda owner

[jax4736]

Okay, I pulled the plug and bought a Triton and two Anaconda power cords. My listening room has just the speakers and a single stereo power amplifier. I have one Anaconda going from the amplifier straight to the wall.

In the adjacent room are my sources and preamp. The Triton is in there, connected to the wall by the other Anaconda. My sources are cabled with Venom 3 power cords for now. Couldn't afford the Typhon yet.


Wondering if I should get a Cyclops for the power amp, or just leave it straight in the wall.

Impressive so far, with the loaner cables/Triton until my new ones comes in. I'm hearing blacker backgrounds, more detail, and certainly more bass extension. The noise floor seems to have dropped a whole lot. Not sure how "burned in" this gear is. But very nice here in these first few moments.

Congrats, good move ,seems to be steadily growing fan base for the Triton . Will you be investigating the Typhon add on ?

[jax4736]

Want to get some advice on it. Looking at it perhaps in two to three months.

I'm sitting here listening to a recording I know VERY well. Hearing a wealth of details I never heard before. Simply astonished.

I hope I don't need two Typhons, my amplifier and sources are on different rooms. I have the amplifier plugged in to the wall directly, albeit with an Anaconda.

I believe a reason for the Cyclops is to provide the benefit of a Triton to amps. It does not restrict current, and is designed to reduce DTCD. I used to have my source and amps (Pass Labs X600.5) on my Triton, but recently added a Cyclops with a Z Anaconda going to the wall for the amps. Works great, and sounds even better

Yep, sounds like the improvements from Shunyata gear. Taking out all the grunge, hash, RFI, EMI and lowering the noise floor makes a big big difference.

Are your amp and source components both on the same circuit?

If they are, one Typhon will do it.

[jax4736]

Actually yes, my amp and sources are on the same circuit.

Should I plug the Typhon into the wall outlet, or use the umbilical to the Triton? I thought the best performance was to use one of the eight outlets on the Triton, rather than the C19 port....

Correct. The C19 port uses the least expensive umbilical. Best results are with the shorter Ztron umbilicals. Don't know whether best results are from being plugged into the wall or Triton, but it was designed as a Triton add-on, not a stand alone product. Attached to the Triton puts it electrically closer to the Triton versus attached to the wall.

I would plug the Typhon into the outlet that's closest to your circuit breaker.

BTW, have you upgraded the outlets that your amp and Triton are plugged into?

[jax4736]

Not upgraded the outlets. I rent the house. I could upgrade if I wanted to, the Landlord is okay with it. But not sure I wanted to get into upgrading the outlets.
