I have RGC-24s and had them in while testing the Tripoint.

Posted by Norm on June 12, 2009 at 06:50:17:
Once I removed them and had only the Tripoint. I like the AR grounders but think their effect is much subtler. They tend to add a purity and quiet. The Tripoint is much more obvious and immediate. You would be shocked at the involvement in the sound stage and quietness.

I think that placement of the puck of the 24s is all important not where it is grounded to. Since I have only my H-Cat line stage grounded to the ac ground, I ground my 24s to it. One puck in over the dac and under the sacd player.

The Tripoint is grounded to your ac ground through a very substantial ac cord with only the ground plug connected. All components are then grounded to its three solid copper binding posts go through its magnetics to ground.

Fundamentally, it is apples and oranges.

It is hard for me to say anything more than you really need to try the Tripoint. I already have exceptional imaging thanks to H-Cat, but this added a lot.
