Shunyata Triton


OK, here is my 1-hour-new experience with the Triton.

OMG, I hooked up the Triton in a quick manner chained with my old Vray2 (Vray to wall, Triton to Vray, all components into Triton) and it immediately transformed the sound immensely!
With my eyes closed I would think I had new speakers. Tight controlled bass (that had been slightly flabby), MUCH rounder, more developed images with beautiful texture.
The whole soundscape has much more depth even though my 2-way monitor speakers are close to the wall. A problem I had was that I was constantly moving my chair or head side to side because
the soundfield would sometimes collapse to the right or left (I have no balance control on my preamp, but I find balance controls usually do more harm than good anyway, like tone controls),
and, miraculously, something I was not expecting, the Triton seems to fix that. Unbelievable.

Previously, if I angled my speakers inward to improve the imaging (firm up the image placement), the tweeters would beam somewhat and be a little bright and fatiguing. The Triton now lets me toe-in the speakers and the highs are not overdone at all, but they still soar and are very sweet, just right.

I've had a number of power conditioners before and the affects were either subtly very good or they did
harm (like a forward sound from re-generators, or muddy bass when a power amp was plugged into them). The Triton is not subtle. It is just plain great.

Everybody should strive to get one of these, IMHO of course.

As I said in my related thread, I'm using the Triton direct now directly into the wall (via an old extra long Shunyata Anaconda 20 amp cord) and it is even more miraculous. Every darn image is locked in place outside the speakers with more texture and placement information in all dimensions.
Just beautiful controlled bass, no more abrasion in the highs (but no frequency limitations of any kind, in fact the bass is a bit deeper but with no thickness or boom). Everything in the whole gestalt I look for in the sound of a speaker or whole system is way improved. The Triton is just brilliant. Everyone who really cares about the sound of their system should get one. I never say anything unequivocally about a component, because it's always a matter of taste or maybe synergy, but I'm pretty confident about this. (I tried to be humble here, but just can't. I love this thing.)
Good job, nice report. Always plug Triton directly to wall, and you should get a c19 VTX Hydra cord. Then you can daisy chain off of the triton if you need to.
Thanks for that Chashas1. I'm using an old Anaconda Alpha 20 amp cord for the Triton to the wall. Thanks for the tip on the C19VTX; that's new to me.
It is "the" one to use. And it's less money!
Specially made for the power distributions, like the Triton.
And even adding an extra M is affordable.
You did well! Now get the proper cord.
