I've read nothing but good things from people using Torus power conditioners. In some of my early systems, I used BPT power conditioners, which also rely on massive transformers but use balanced power technology, where Torus uses their Narrow Bandwidth Technology. I noticed with balanced power, some systems sounded amazing but some components, especially amplifiers, sounded grounded, lacking air/space.

I'm fishing for some feedback to try to understand the difference between these two technologies and to understand the circumstances where transformer power conditioners might not be the best choice. Also, if anyone has a Torus, what gear your using, and your impression.

i have the 60 amp wall mount. see my signature for equipment list. this install could not be a A/B comparison but I find absolutely no lack in dynamics

That's some serious Gryphon gear. It's my experience that dynamics and punch is one of the biggest strengths of transformer units. That it's more of a dense, solid sound but doesn't have the airy, lilting, treble nuance of other solutions.

That was my experience as well with BPT units.
