I made a mistake once too when I relocated my equipments
. It took me the whole morning to find out what went wrong with my sound. Just a single cable at my phono.Tang
Thanks. Will report back if I hear nothing (a bit of a contradiction in terms!)
This is not my picture. There is no blue ends here. But they are Elite not Troy.
I follow instruction that came with the wires. It is in my office some where.
Kind regards,
Tang
Guys, it's a good idea to read manufacturer's manuals and instructions from time to time.

got a note from Miguel that using the 'wrong' end is only a temporary issue. the 'blue' marker indicates the direction they were originally burned in, so using them the opposite direction will settle-in over time and become correct. i'm not switching mine back now and will allow the 2 which were 'wrong' to settle in this (proper 'blue' indicator) way so going forward I can be consistent and not have to think about it.
this approach does not apply to the Thor SE, only the Silver Signature ground cables which come stock with the Troy. since the Elite comes with the same cables 'stock' i'd assume it would also work the same with that.

Sure Mike, we've all been there in lovng something that might be "wrong" unbeknownst to us.
Big admission...
...in the mid 90s, slam bang in my evangelical anti digital phase, the dealer who sold me my first serious system (all-Roksan) invited me to the launch of their top system incl tt and cdp.
There I was listening to some music, a bit of surface noise, and I metaphorically patted myself on the back for still preferring the "superior" lp medium.
The dealer then smiled wryly at me as he changed the album...by taking the cd out of the tray! Yes, it was a pesky cd with vinyl surface noise recorded on it.
Erm, I didn't say much for the rest of the evening!

ok; Elite will land tomorrow.
so tonight I've moved the Troy Signature behind my dart mono's and attached 2 standard Signature Silver 1.5m grounding cables to each amp per my method from the earlier post.
the Troy Sig is sitting on the wood over concrete floor with the stock footers into their discs.
and I've plugged the Troy Sig power cord into the bottom plug-in with the right amp power cord.
all the ground cables on my sources including the 2 Thor SE Master Ref grounding cables are just sitting there not connected, waiting impatiently for the Elite to arrive.
at first it's a little disorienting. a bit confused. now after 10 minutes it's settled down a bit and the sound organization has returned and it's doing some wonderful things. maybe a slight net reduction in overall musical communication, but not much. i'm happy since it's cold in it's new spot, and with new cables too. and no Thor's in the mix. if it's this good now without anything on the sources and only connected to the amps, we have something big to expect adding the Elite tomorrow to the sources.

the two long Signature Silver grounding cables you see left and right are just sitting there not connected at the moment. I switched them around on the sources so I have the -2- 3 meter Sig Silver cables there to switch with the Entreq cables now grounding the bass amps (to the Poseidon/Atlantic Minimus) on the bass towers later when i'm ready to try that.
forgot to answer this earlier, sorry.
Miguel very specifically said NOT to daisy chain the Troy Sig and Elite. the approaches are not sympathetic together.
there you go.
the dart 458's just love the the Tripoint Troy Signature!!!!
this is now a smallish step beyond where the Troy Sig was on the sources even with the Thor's.
for a number of years Miguel has been on me to add Tripoint magic to the 458's, saying that the more refined the gear, the more the Tripoint's magic comes through. these are the kind of amps that are a microscope for change and musically significant nuance.
no doubt.
update 45 minutes later--10:15pm----wow!! this is more than a smallish step forward. clearly more separation and walk-around through and around the soundstage, more harmonically complex and richer tone and body, more sensing vocal expressiveness and body language. we are at a different level of performance now. more intimate and engaging than before. greater startle and jump factor.
suspension of disbelief pegging the meter.
back to the music......
now 20 minutes later, 10:40pm----lost count of 'holy sh*ts'......
note to self---have aid car on hand tomorrow w/defib when firing up the Elite.
