TriPoint Audio Grounding Devices
This is my first review so please be patient.
Tripoint Audio manufactures grounding devices for audio systems in Florida,U.S.
I have known of them for about seven years and have just taken the plunge on one of their new NG devices. Several fellow agoners had been telling me about them for several years, and I was curious, but put off trying one. Delaying purchasing was due to various reasons, being skeptical by nature, and of course, cost. They are not inexpensive, but what quality items in life are?
The unit I purchased is a Tipoint Troy Signature SE NG, with Tripoint Signature Silver SE rounding cables. It is an entry level unit, so your experience will be at least as good as mine, probably better!
After several phone conversations with Miguel Alvarez, the owner/manufacturer, my unit was shipped in a few weeks after we decided on the appropriate unit for my system and different cable possibilities. It arrived in probably the best crate and packing I have ever experienced. Custom made wooden crate and well thought out packing made it obvious this was no ordinary piece of equipment. As I unwrapped the TROY Signature NG SE the fit and finish of the unit was excellent and displayed meticulous craftsmanship, the footers and rear connectors are of top quality materials and finish. The box is rather simple looking, but attractive. Remember this is the entry level unit, the upper echelon boxes are much more attractive.
Assembly of the unit and attaching the grounding cables is very straightforward and quick. Attaching the grounding cables to the components of my system was also very straightforward, with the use of some washers and slightly longer bolts for the chassis mountings.
Initial listening impressions were very good. I was immediately aware that a veil had been lifted. All aspects of the music were more coherent. Minute nuances in the music and voices revealed themselves. I heard things I have never heard before. I could go on and on with the adjectives but won’t.
This device does what they say it will do. It removes the “hash”; it makes your speakers disappear; musicality and clarity improve; it’s the icing on the cake; All is true! Cymbals and bells will sound lifelike, voices come alive, bottom end like never before, drums and percussion instruments are tight and solid, again all the usual descriptors.
If you have a system worthy of considering these devices, GET ONE!! I waited two years too long!! I have 12 years on Audiogon, bought and sold many items, and am a somewhat experienced audiophile. I have no connection with the manufacturer, none, except as a customer. I cannot stress this enough!!
LIFE IS SHORT! BUY ONE OF THESE UNITS! I GUARANTEE YOU WILL NOTICE A BIG IMPROVEMENT!
Thanks for listening.
