Torus Power Testimonials

July 23, 2024 – I’ve been so excited for the arrival of the RM-20 unit. As my audio system is aging (haha), I prepared for the RM-20 by polishing all the metal connections with Flitz – so each & every interconnect and all the power cables too.  I replaced the service panel breaker and installed a hospital grade outlet, as well as polished all the contacts on my speakers/wires etc. Just anything I could do to get a fresh start.

After positioning the RM-20 and getting everything attached and operating, I just spent hours listening to various Jazz tracks and vocals. WOW, such an amazing, crystal-clear sound. Your RM-20 completely opened up the soundstage and breathed new life into my audio system. Everything I’d read about the Torus RM-20 in online reviews is true! I’m honestly amazed and just wanted to thank everyone involved for making this possible. We can’t wait to listen to records now 🙂

August 1, 2023 – Assessment of the Torus Power TOT MAX SMSS is underway with about 8 hrs of listening time on it now.  It makes a very audible difference in my system!  Low level details are more audible against a blacker/quieter background – low level dynamics are increased.  There’s greater delineation of sounds/detail in the music without sounding amusical.  For jazz lover reed instruments and vocals sound breathier.  The Hammond B3 keystroke vibrato starts to be audible from a lower level.  It’s a keeper!

July 21, 2022 – Product is RM 20 – Simply put, the RM 20 freed each and every note that crossed each and every chord and cable that coursed through each and every component until it arrived at my ears. It was truly a breath of fresh air. Can you say pristine, natural, open, and unhindered frequency response? Wide dynamic range? And there were oceans of detail, air, micro dynamics, and ambience rendered by the Torus RM 20. It was not subtle. On the contrary, it was stunning. The amount of music and detail called forth via the RM 20 bought the constant rediscovery of my entire music collection and it was always very enjoyable. Let’s just say that the Torus RM 20 is highly recommended.

November 15, 2021 – First reaction/effect was like I have a new CD-player or headphones, at least. Everything is smooth and yet very dynamic. The soundstage has expanded, now it is huge.

The bass is strong, tight and the instruments have more air around them. The voices are also much clearer now. And all this just straight out of the box! WOW!

I’m a very happy man and I’m going to discover and enjoy my CD collection from A to Z.

July 8, 2020 – I had absolutely no idea how much it would improve the sound quality to use one of your Torus Power TOT Max power conditioning devices!! The whole soundstage improved tremendously plus firmer bass and clearer voices. And I have been busy recommending your solutions to all my friends since. I would say it was at least a 25% improvement on the overall sound quality.

June 16, 2020 – I have had the Torus Power AVR 20 unit now for a bit, and it has totally transformed the quality of my work! What an amazing product! I instantly called all my friends about it.

Many of the praises I gave included the observation of how it felt like my monitors were upgraded. Just listening to music through it, has made the experience incredible! Bigger soundstage, extended bottom and top, the details are sooo accurate and precise. The only sad part was opening up previous mixes and noticing how much reverb I added, I went a little overboard haha.

I guess with all that noise, or dirty signal coming in, it was masking the details of my mixes and I was making the wrong decisions, but how great it is to now have a clear, correct, and true picture. Thank you so much!

September 19, 2018 – “My role as a finisher in the music industry is to take whatever we receive, whatever I have in my hand, and try to take it one step higher and constantly raise the bar of quality of music. We start from the power, go up through to cables, up on to the audio, and so forth, so building a studio means integrating and understanding the relationship between different components. From the power side, from the audio side, from the acoustics, from the placement, from the sweet spot.

Each part of this makes a really good studio and really good recordings. In dance music, in breakdowns, on parts of music where we don’t have drums, we’re bringing a lot of information, like reverb. Having a clean response allows me to do that, without worrying about noise floor. But if I use a lot of analog gear fed by bad power, it’s a big risk to bring noise into the mix.

Part of my job is mixing, but it’s also to be able to recall exactly the same gear, with the same result, with the same sound. We do about two to three hundred songs a year, so we need to have a system that is recallable. Having stable Torus Power allows me to have the same transient response and the same noise floor. When I recall a big mix, I don’t want to have a sound that changes and fluctuates several times. We want to minimize possible problems caused by power, especially for drums and transient response, it’s important to have very clean and linear power. You wouldn’t buy a fast performance car and use cheap gas.

Torus Power is the best possible gas for our studio. We didn’t want to second guess the quality of the power. Torus Power was the natural answer to have something very solid we can trust every day.”

November 15, 2017 – “Initially I purchased another brand of power transformer but there was a noticeable hum in my speakers. I installed the Torus Power TOT Mini, and the hum is gone. The Torus Power transformer is silent. It’s easily one of the best purchases I’ve ever made. There’s a lot more low-level detail, a more transparent, immediate, and holographic 3D soundstage, with more soundstage height and depth in the high-resolution audio format. All of my music sounds so much different—better—than how I remember it. It resembles a live performance. The picture quality even looks better now, with clean power to the video panel delivered through the TOT Mini. Blacks are blacker, and the colors really pop. Once I experienced the difference clean power makes in the performance of my system, Torus Power gained a customer for life.”

July 25, 2017 – On Friday night a client came over and I mentioned the Torus Power AVR 15 and pointed it out to him.  I told him that Torus Power protects AND improves sound quality, and he asked if we could listen without the Torus…So I said ¨Actually, YES!¨

WOW, what a difference…. Lost presence, lost definition, lost body, lost power, even volume… everything just seemed to decrease in quality without the Torus AVR15!!  Then we tried again with the Torus and everything sounded great again… all at the same volume levels.

September 27, 2017 – “I didn’t have to strain or work real hard to see visible improvements in the image via my Blu-ray player and front projector. The first thing that jumped out was a major increase in the detail of the image. This was a big wow, OMG type of moment! The difference was not at all subtle. And I know it was the AVR 20 because I didn’t see the same level of improvement over my direct view monitor which is on a different circuit.

It wasn’t just the detail in the image where I saw improvements. It was seen on every aspect of the image. The contrast was notably improved. I saw much less irritating ringing and surprisingly there appeared to be fewer compression artifacts as well. The contrast was so much better that the picture appeared brighter on every scene. More brightness is always a good thing. Again, this was not subtle or hard to see. It was immediate and obvious. I did not have to strain to see these improvements.

The AVR20 is the first isolation transformer I have used. It mirrored the same virtues I have heard with typical power transformer products – lower noise floor and less overhang on transients. In the end, however, the Torus Power product went much farther than that.

The first thing I heard most was that the sound had a fleshier weight to it. More gravitas, if you will. This enhancement was heard with music and movies alike. This effect created a much more robust foundation to the proceedings. The bass benefited further by sounding as if there was more power and punch on tap.

I also heard an apparent decrease in harmonic distortion. This was heard through more detailed and refined textures in musical passages, particularly when a full orchestra was playing. But it also allowed the treble to sparkle just a bit more. And the fleshier bass had more space between the notes.

The soundstage grew as well. This was in both the width and the height of the stage. And as I mentioned above, the soundstage seemed to retain this wider perspective even during high dynamic peaks. It wasn’t just a little bit bigger. It was huge, grandiose even. This brought me into a territory where I felt transported to the recording venues much more frequently and convincingly.

Speaking of dynamics, this may have been the biggest overall improvement I enjoyed when it came to the sound. Just as in my video-related observations, the audio also benefited from increased dynamics. Again, this was a universal enhancement – movies, music, TV, you name it. I think the increase in apparent headroom is the one feature of the Torus Power AVR20 that really took my system to the next level. Once the Torus Power was in and popping, my system was suddenly competitive with systems that cost twice as much. That’s what this incredible product can do for your system as well.

I have watched a lot of movies and listened to a ton of music with the Torus Power AVR20 in my system. The most sustaining observation and the one that summarizes all my observations is that my system is significantly more “immersive” than any time before. Ever.

The Torus Power AVR 20 will take any system up a notch or two. If you have a system that is good, great or even excellent, running your equipment through the AVR 20 will take your system to the next level. As an example, the street price of my system is around $30,000. This is not modest but in my view is at the point of diminishing returns. The AVR 20 let my system rise up and be competitive with systems costing as much as $75,000 – $100,000. This was an astonishing level of improvement for what is a relatively small investment. Add that the Torus Power AVR 20 provides on-going protection of your equipment and you have a most highly recommended component!”

January 9, 2017 – I just want to express my appreciation for your products. Now that my Torus Power has finally broken in and doing its potential I understand the word dynamics better as I listen to my system. My system is a composition of two mono block amps, Jade 7 loudspeakers, Cambridge audio pre amp, Nordost speaker cable, and a high end dedicated CD player. What was missing in my system was your Torus Power unit. I do not know all the highly intellectually wordings of the audiophiles who evaluate speakers, amps etc., but as I experienced your Torus Power unit, all their wording came to a life with a transcendence of almost perfect purity. I thought these evaluators where just floating in the clouds, but when you put a system that’s in harmony with your ear and emotion attached, it’s just a very high degree of contentment.

Great products. I’m glad my curiosity paid off…I got an overwhelming dividend.
Yours truly from the lone star state,

November 2016 – “You’ll hear the improvement in the first few bars of music played with the TOT AVR in place, and you’ll hear it taken away when it’s removed. A ten minute demonstration would seal the deal and the majority of people would buy one at the end of it.” It’s that simple, and that good

August 2015 – The Torus unit, model RM 30 620R TVSS RK, arrived on 8/15 and was installed by my dealer on 8/22. It weighs in at 176 lbs. and rack mounting it in the equipment cabinet was no easy task.

This Torus unit was custom configured by Torus to give me 240v in/out, surge protection for the 7 Halo JC-1 amps along with power filtering. The unit has five output circuits controlling a total of 18 240v rear panel receptacles, each group is controlled by a separate front panel breaker switch.I have been trying to make a mental list of all the components that I have gone through in the years that I have been involved in this “hobby,” I could not remember them all, but came up with a total of between 60-75. With all those changes/upgrades, I have never experienced a component that so dramatically affected the system performance, in a positive way, as this new Torus piece has. The tighter bass, the mellower highs, the improved sound stage…WOW! Understand, as “half-empty” kind of guy, I do not make these statements lightly.

After the initial reaction, I began converting any piece in the system that was 120v-240v switchable and switched it to 240v then plugging it into the Torus. This included a Parasound JC-2BP Pre-amp I am auditioning, the Oppo 105 player, and the Escient Vision movie server. In each case there was as incremental improvement in the audio and video ( less video noise, especially dark noise).
In addition, the build quality is first rate and for a piece that is designed for functionality, for the most part the styling is handsome.

Apr 8, 2014 – I had terrible electrical problems that popped up over the last year. With every new store, restaurant and business that opened up in my suburban downtown location, it seemed my system performance took a hit. At first we thought the problem was equipment-based and I spent a few months swapping preamps, amps, cables and anything else I could think of, trying to find the problem. My system at this point was unlistenable. Collapsed soundstage, hard, brittle sounding with mud for bass. And that was on a good day!

Finally at the end of my rope one day, I found an old Richard Gray isolation unit out in my garage and brought it in. I plugged my preamp in and heard a small improvement. I spoke with my dealer the next day and he brought out a 20A, 120V rack version of a Torus Power unit. I plugged my preamp, phono pre and CD player into it. Immediate improvement and hope!

I listened for a few weeks and there was enough there to make me commit to the massive 90A 300Lb Torus Power wall panel-mounted power transformer. I had to wait and hope for 7 weeks until it finally arrived. It has been everything I hoped for. My system has returned to full fidelity giving me every ounce of performance I recall prior to its utter collapse over 1 year ago. I waited a few weeks to report on its success to make sure the fix was permanent.

I’m confident now that it is. For me, the Torus Power unit is a necessity and not a luxury…

Before I had the 15a and 20a (both balanced 240v), I had my electrician run I believe 6-7 gauge wire from my main panel and ran it up to my living room. He had installed 2X40a breakers in my main panel. In the living room,we put a sub panel that holds 8X15a breakers,so that gave me 8 duplex receptacles. 16 plugins (JUST IN CASE).

I was running a Hydra 6 (components) and 5X hydra 2s (power amps). When I heard about TORUS, AudioArk had a 15a balanced(240v) that I borrowed to check out. it was just as good or better than my Hydras, i had just about everything plugged in to the Torus. So since I wanted to separate components and amps(3X7Bssts+2X4B-ssts), I purchased a 20a(240v)Torus. As soon as hooked that up,We’ll I could not believe what was happening,more Bottom end,air ect. I e-mailed James tanner and asked what might be happening. I thought maybe I was getting older or losing it. the 15a wouldn’t let all that power unleash itself.

I believe if I remember correctly: 5X16.5a+82a(4ohms)+8 ohms=41a.2/3 of that,27a at 8 OHMS+65a at 4OHMS. So really with the 2X Torus,I have 35a.I already ordered a 45a balanced, as I’m trading the 15a in for the 45a and keeping the 20a(for components,sub,and 4bs(and the 45a for the7bs).

GETTING BACK to the sub panel,my electrician disabled 2 receptacles and gave me 2X240v receptacles. ALL I CAN SAY IS, WHAT AN UPGRADE THE TORUS’S MADE, HUGE,HUGE IMPROVEMENT. Sorry for the detail but I get right excited when I get a major improvement in my system.

June 6, 2022 – 2 x RM 20 units – The transformative power of the two torus units is astounding; my sweet spot went from a beach ball to a bathtub and the commensurate removal of noise and grunge has been as if a veil was removed from the music. I laugh thinking about all of the other audiophile power filters that cost 2-3x a torus unit and don’t even have a transformer inside, those folks are missing the toroidal benefits entirely.

October 28, 2021 – Received and installed the Torus Power AVR 20 and it made a much bigger difference than I had thought it would make. My input power is all over the place and output is smooth as silk. A hum in the speakers when music was paused is now gone.  Better bass, and just cleaner sounding.

June 16, 2020 – I just plugged in my Torus Power AVR 15 unit and noticed a HUGE difference within the first 30 seconds – blacker background, no dynamic compression whatsoever. Definitely a keeper.

March 1, 2020 – The most gratifying effect of the RM 20 has been elimination of occasional harshness in the treble range (violin, soprano, harpsichord) that I’ve been chasing since I built my listening room, about 6 years ago. Each addition of acoustic treatments has helped a little, as have improvements to the gear.

The speakers were chosen for low distortion and because their controlled directivity reduces reflections from the low (7 ft) ceiling and sidewalls. The source components, located near my chair, use filtered power from a competing product. Yet adding the RM 20 for the power amp has solved this longstanding irritation, to my great pleasure. 

I have been skeptical of claims made for power devices. The ones I’ve tried before had, at best, no audible effects. This Torus Power RM 20 is quite a difference, and I’m very glad I took the chance!

June 14, 2019 – “In building the showcase theater at the new CEDIA headquarters we combined advanced room isolation design with high-performance components and clean power delivered by the Torus Power All-In-One unit, and we have been able to achieve a dynamic experience that is second to none and worthy of being an industry showcase. We were not going to do this room without a Torus Power unit, or its equivalent. And there is no equivalent to what the Torus Power isolation transformers can accomplish in any size installation. Providing a steady stream of ample, clean power allows the system to perform at its very best and prevents it from being compromised. The Torus Power AIO absolutely fits the bill.”

May 29, 2019 – I have had some time to consider the TOT Mini and from first listen I believe it truly maximizes the sound quality of my small tube amp and the connected system. More presence and coherence to the sound, even a little more bite, and the notes sustain (and ultimately decay) more clearly and cleanly than in any system I recall owning. I am very happy with the TOT Mini in my main tube system and have plans for the Torus Power RM 15 model in another system.

June 30, 2017 – Since I have been so happy with the result of the TOT AVR on my second system I have no hesitation in using another Torus Power unit for the big system. Thanks to your advice, I purchased the TOT MAX with confidence. The results were like many of your customers’ testimonials, however there are several points that your would be customers should know.

The Torus Power TOT series unit, because it is so affordable, would single handedly improve any system it is partnered with in every parameter. If any one is thinking of upgrading his or her system buy the Torus Power first, you will be more than pleased with the result and the money you have saved.

Nowadays more and more hi fi enthusiasts are experimenting with grounding boxes and claiming good results. The Torus Power unit does just that and more, and it costs a lot less than these ground boxes.

Finally the Torus does need running in and any prospective owners should be patient.

Thank you very much for providing such a wonderful service and useful advice. In my opinion, the value of the Torus Power unit is very much under rated and more people should be aware of its many virtues.”

March 22, 2017 – I bought the Torus Power TOT Mini for the reference turntable I have that sits too far from the TOT AVR to be plugged directly into it.  What I had done prior was run a 15′ heavy duty extension cord from the AVR into a very expensive power cord.

I knew that wasn’t a good solution, so I purchased the Mini as you suggested.  I let it run in for two days but in my upstairs demo room, and today plugged it into the turntable.  It’s just unbelievable what a positive effect it has on dynamics, bass, and overall quiet backgrounds.  It is not an optional accessory, but mandatory for every system!  I’ll need another Mini for my upstairs demo room!

February 28, 2017 – With the TOT AVR feeding my reference system of a Mark Levinson No.334 stereo amplifier driving a pair of Revel Ultima Salon2 speakers, I heard subtle improvements in imaging, soundstage depth, and instrumental timbres, as well as in dynamic range, resolution, and tonal balance. The TOT created jet-“black” backgrounds that enhanced the three-dimensionality of images even when dynamics were extreme or the volume was loud. The more I lived with Torus Power’s TOT AVR, the more it delighted me. In my system, the TOT AVR improved musical detail and three-dimensional imaging for a wide range of music. I couldn’t have imagined how much this little power transformer could become a necessary part of my audio system until I’d lived with it for nearly a year.

January 2, 2017 – I installed the Torus Power AVR20 yesterday, and I could not be happier… It is gorgeous, dead quiet, and works beautifully… solid, powerful, stable, everying good in a power product… especially QUIET…

I’m so delighted to know about your product line and will be a proud and vocal advocate of these products to my audio buddies worldwide…

It was the perfect answer to a frustrating problem… and this solved it 100%

Many many thanks… and I’m so happy to have this. It was the missing/annoying part of the system, and now it is “all good!”….

April 26, 2015 – I have been having problems with an intermediate transformer hum in a 240vac Krell FPB300cx Power Amplifier. It appears to be due to noise on the house incoming 240vac power supply from local industry and is worse through the week when they are working. I have tried a number of different devices (DC blockers and filters) but nothing has worked to stop the 2kVA transformer hum. I contacted Len Wallis Audio in Sydney who sells Krell and Torus Power and they suggested using a Torus Power transformer. My Torus Power AVR 16 AUS CB arrived and is working well. So far the Krell transformer has been quiet. And as an added bonus the system has more dynamics, bass extension and clarity. Sound improvements that are very welcome.

TP-WM-1Let’s see where to start. I have been an audiophile for years now. I tried a few high-end wires (even ones in the 4-5 grand range) and cords and even a few conditioners but always had to strain my ears and brain to hear a difference. In the end I didn’t bother with any of it cause I thought it could very well be my imagination or perhaps my hearing simply wasn’t good enough to detect any change. So I figured my money was better spent elsewhere (at least for me). I have heard drastic changes when changing loudspeakers or rooms, significant changes when changing from a cheap preamp to a Bryston and also some digital sources.

I have heard very small to moderate changes between amps (usually small). I read so many glowing comments on the Torus Power transformer that I decided to revisit this area in my system and so ordered a Torus RM-15 which arrived yesterday. My 2 channel system consists of B&W 802D speakers, Bryston BP-26 preamp, Sony’s newest 5400 SACD player and Bryston 4B SST amp. All wires are Bryston and Bluejean.

I plugged the Torus RM 15 in and decided to let things settle for about 10 hours (as it was cold from transit). After this initial period I threw in the first CD and was astonished at the change as I really wasn’t expecting much if anything. The soundstage is simply incredible with more definition, more balance, silky smooth highs seem to extend into nothingness, voice is more pinpoint and incredibly natural without any edge, bass is more taught etc. I could go on and on but frankly I want to get back to my system.

I will say this. It is very very seldom that a change in my system makes me want to revisit all my CD collection but the Torus has done just that. At the price it is an absolute steal. Those of you who have one already know this but for those who don’t I would highly recommend and audition. I would only offer one other piece of advice regarding the Torus, don’t audition one until you can afford it cause you are not going to want to be without it.

Background:Almost a year ago, I replaced a Sonic Frontier Line 1 pre, and two Power 1 amps (vertical biamp) in my main system, with a BP 26 and a 14 BSST, also from Creative Audio. I spent a fair amount of time tweaking those pieces with power cord changes, footers, cardas caps, and more recently swapping out almost all my IC’s to Bryston ones, replacing more expensive, but not as good sounding, cables.

So main core of the system is basically Bryston. Other components include a VPI Scoutmaster to a very tweaked Slee Era Gold V phono section, digital side is done by a Musical Fidelity A3 CDP used as a transport to a Musical Fidelity Trivista DAC (where the Bryston cable also makes a great digital cable), and the tuner is a Parasound Halo T3, connected by XLR to the pre. Speakers are Martin Logan Aeons.(with Goertz M1.3cables)

Almost everything has been tweaked. Atlantis Reference stands (2), with clumping kitty litter in the tubes, Linn skeets under the top shelves and bottom of the stands, 3 inch maple block under the TT, footers include Tara Lab vanishing points, BDR’s, and Finite Element ceraballs, and more Linn skeets under the speakers.

Power cords are a range from Moray James, into almost all things including the speakers. I am aware that power matters, and that power cords tend to improve things, but also that they react differently to individual components. Everything was originally plugged into a Panamax 5510, with power set to balanced on the 4 transformer based lines (regenerated ) which I used for the CDP, DAC,

… just want you to know that we got the Torus and used it for the show in Göteborg this weekend. It was fantastic. The show was excellent and we received many comments like “best show sound” etc…. Certainly there was a great difference between running on “hotel power” and the incredible foundation given by the Torus. We really loved the way it gave “super-strength” to the gear which sounded just fantastic, and bottomless-powerful. We love it! Great Product!

James, you helped me with some pre-purchase questions and I’d like to pass on some very positive feedback from my RM-10 and BCD-1 experience: both products work very well and I’ve been particularly impressed with the RM-10. I’ve changed CD players before and had a general idea of what to expect, but had never tried any kind of power filter / conditioner / isolator before. So, since I live in a condo building I thought I might be more subject to power line noise than a house so thought some basic conditioning might be a good idea.
WOW.

I’m amazed that such a ‘simple’ change can yield such a noticeable improvement. While I wouldn’t say the improvement(s) were dramatic, they were definitely significant and more than justify the RM-10 investment. Here’s the comment you gave me pre-purchase: ”I think you would find everything sounds more relaxed and easier to hear small details in the music with the Torus. The noise floor gets lowered and you really can hear more into things.” This was exactly my experience and I’d add that my soundstage is definitely more 3-dimensional. I have two sources, a tuner and a BCD-1 and I’ve noticed the most pronounced change with the tuner. I had only had the BCD-1 for a little while before receiving the RM-10, so maybe my ears were not as accustomed to the BCD-1 sound as with my tuner? Anyway, I am very pleased with both components. Thanks for any advice.

December 28, 2022 – I’ve recently heard a Torus Power AVR unit at a friend’s studio and was amazed by what the Torus did. Being very well aware of what the right power supply and cable can do this blew my mind!

July 21, 2022 – Product is RM 20 – Simply put, the RM 20 freed each and every note that crossed each and every chord and cable that coursed through each and every component until it arrived at my ears. It was truly a breath of fresh air. Can you say pristine, natural, open, and unhindered frequency response? Wide dynamic range? And there were oceans of detail, air, micro dynamics, and ambience rendered by the Torus RM 20. It was not subtle. On the contrary, it was stunning. The amount of music and detail called forth via the RM 20 bought the constant rediscovery of my entire music collection and it was always very enjoyable. Let’s just say that the Torus RM 20 is highly recommended.

Feb 24, 2022 – Model # AVR ELITE 20 – The AVR Elite 20 continues to amaze me! The sound is very open and organic. Quite effortless and hoping things continue getting better with time.

November 15, 2021 – First reaction/effect was like I have a new CD-player or headphones, at least. Everything is smooth and yet very dynamic. The soundstage has expanded, now it is huge.

The bass is strong, tight and the instruments have more air around them. The voices are also much clearer now. And all this just straight out of the box! WOW!

I’m a very happy man and I’m going to discover and enjoy my CD collection from A to Z.

July 8, 2020 – I had absolutely no idea how much it would improve the sound quality to use one of your Torus Power TOT Max power conditioning devices!! The whole soundstage improved tremendously plus firmer bass and clearer voices. And I have been busy recommending your solutions to all my friends since. I would say it was at least a 25% improvement on the overall sound quality.

June 16, 2020 – I have had the Torus Power AVR 20 unit now for a bit, and it has totally transformed the quality of my work! What an amazing product! I instantly called all my friends about it.

Many of the praises I gave included the observation of how it felt like my monitors were upgraded. Just listening to music through it, has made the experience incredible! Bigger soundstage, extended bottom and top, the details are sooo accurate and precise. The only sad part was opening up previous mixes and noticing how much reverb I added, I went a little overboard haha.

I guess with all that noise, or dirty signal coming in, it was masking the details of my mixes and I was making the wrong decisions, but how great it is to now have a clear, correct, and true picture. Thank you so much!

September 19, 2018 – “My role as a finisher in the music industry is to take whatever we receive, whatever I have in my hand, and try to take it one step higher and constantly raise the bar of quality of music. We start from the power, go up through to cables, up on to the audio, and so forth, so building a studio means integrating and understanding the relationship between different components. From the power side, from the audio side, from the acoustics, from the placement, from the sweet spot.

Each part of this makes a really good studio and really good recordings. In dance music, in breakdowns, on parts of music where we don’t have drums, we’re bringing a lot of information, like reverb. Having a clean response allows me to do that, without worrying about noise floor. But if I use a lot of analog gear fed by bad power, it’s a big risk to bring noise into the mix.

Part of my job is mixing, but it’s also to be able to recall exactly the same gear, with the same result, with the same sound. We do about two to three hundred songs a year, so we need to have a system that is recallable. Having stable Torus Power allows me to have the same transient response and the same noise floor. When I recall a big mix, I don’t want to have a sound that changes and fluctuates several times. We want to minimize possible problems caused by power, especially for drums and transient response, it’s important to have very clean and linear power. You wouldn’t buy a fast performance car and use cheap gas.

Torus Power is the best possible gas for our studio. We didn’t want to second guess the quality of the power. Torus Power was the natural answer to have something very solid we can trust every day.”

November 15, 2017 – “Initially I purchased another brand of power transformer but there was a noticeable hum in my speakers. I installed the Torus Power TOT Mini, and the hum is gone. The Torus Power transformer is silent. It’s easily one of the best purchases I’ve ever made. There’s a lot more low-level detail, a more transparent, immediate, and holographic 3D soundstage, with more soundstage height and depth in the high-resolution audio format. All of my music sounds so much different—better—than how I remember it. It resembles a live performance. The picture quality even looks better now, with clean power to the video panel delivered through the TOT Mini. Blacks are blacker, and the colors really pop. Once I experienced the difference clean power makes in the performance of my system, Torus Power gained a customer for life.”

July 25, 2017 – On Friday night a client came over and I mentioned the Torus Power AVR 15 and pointed it out to him.  I told him that Torus Power protects AND improves sound quality, and he asked if we could listen without the Torus…So I said ¨Actually, YES!¨

WOW, what a difference…. Lost presence, lost definition, lost body, lost power, even volume… everything just seemed to decrease in quality without the Torus AVR15!!  Then we tried again with the Torus and everything sounded great again… all at the same volume levels.

September 27, 2017 – “I didn’t have to strain or work real hard to see visible improvements in the image via my Blu-ray player and front projector. The first thing that jumped out was a major increase in the detail of the image. This was a big wow, OMG type of moment! The difference was not at all subtle. And I know it was the AVR 20 because I didn’t see the same level of improvement over my direct view monitor which is on a different circuit.

It wasn’t just the detail in the image where I saw improvements. It was seen on every aspect of the image. The contrast was notably improved. I saw much less irritating ringing and surprisingly there appeared to be fewer compression artifacts as well. The contrast was so much better that the picture appeared brighter on every scene. More brightness is always a good thing. Again, this was not subtle or hard to see. It was immediate and obvious. I did not have to strain to see these improvements.

The AVR20 is the first isolation transformer I have used. It mirrored the same virtues I have heard with typical power transformer products – lower noise floor and less overhang on transients. In the end, however, the Torus Power product went much farther than that.

The first thing I heard most was that the sound had a fleshier weight to it. More gravitas, if you will. This enhancement was heard with music and movies alike. This effect created a much more robust foundation to the proceedings. The bass benefited further by sounding as if there was more power and punch on tap.

I also heard an apparent decrease in harmonic distortion. This was heard through more detailed and refined textures in musical passages, particularly when a full orchestra was playing. But it also allowed the treble to sparkle just a bit more. And the fleshier bass had more space between the notes.

The soundstage grew as well. This was in both the width and the height of the stage. And as I mentioned above, the soundstage seemed to retain this wider perspective even during high dynamic peaks. It wasn’t just a little bit bigger. It was huge, grandiose even. This brought me into a territory where I felt transported to the recording venues much more frequently and convincingly.

Speaking of dynamics, this may have been the biggest overall improvement I enjoyed when it came to the sound. Just as in my video-related observations, the audio also benefited from increased dynamics. Again, this was a universal enhancement – movies, music, TV, you name it. I think the increase in apparent headroom is the one feature of the Torus Power AVR20 that really took my system to the next level. Once the Torus Power was in and popping, my system was suddenly competitive with systems that cost twice as much. That’s what this incredible product can do for your system as well.

I have watched a lot of movies and listened to a ton of music with the Torus Power AVR20 in my system. The most sustaining observation and the one that summarizes all my observations is that my system is significantly more “immersive” than any time before. Ever.

The Torus Power AVR 20 will take any system up a notch or two. If you have a system that is good, great or even excellent, running your equipment through the AVR 20 will take your system to the next level. As an example, the street price of my system is around $30,000. This is not modest but in my view is at the point of diminishing returns. The AVR 20 let my system rise up and be competitive with systems costing as much as $75,000 – $100,000. This was an astonishing level of improvement for what is a relatively small investment. Add that the Torus Power AVR 20 provides on-going protection of your equipment and you have a most highly recommended component!”

January 9, 2017 – I just want to express my appreciation for your products. Now that my Torus Power has finally broken in and doing its potential I understand the word dynamics better as I listen to my system. My system is a composition of two mono block amps, Jade 7 loudspeakers, Cambridge audio pre amp, Nordost speaker cable, and a high end dedicated CD player. What was missing in my system was your Torus Power unit. I do not know all the highly intellectually wordings of the audiophiles who evaluate speakers, amps etc., but as I experienced your Torus Power unit, all their wording came to a life with a transcendence of almost perfect purity. I thought these evaluators where just floating in the clouds, but when you put a system that’s in harmony with your ear and emotion attached, it’s just a very high degree of contentment.

Great products. I’m glad my curiosity paid off…I got an overwhelming dividend.
Yours truly from the lone star state,

November 2016 – “You’ll hear the improvement in the first few bars of music played with the TOT AVR in place, and you’ll hear it taken away when it’s removed. A ten minute demonstration would seal the deal and the majority of people would buy one at the end of it.” It’s that simple, and that good

August 2015 – The Torus unit, model RM 30 620R TVSS RK, arrived on 8/15 and was installed by my dealer on 8/22. It weighs in at 176 lbs. and rack mounting it in the equipment cabinet was no easy task.

This Torus unit was custom configured by Torus to give me 240v in/out, surge protection for the 7 Halo JC-1 amps along with power filtering. The unit has five output circuits controlling a total of 18 240v rear panel receptacles, each group is controlled by a separate front panel breaker switch.I have been trying to make a mental list of all the components that I have gone through in the years that I have been involved in this “hobby,” I could not remember them all, but came up with a total of between 60-75. With all those changes/upgrades, I have never experienced a component that so dramatically affected the system performance, in a positive way, as this new Torus piece has. The tighter bass, the mellower highs, the improved sound stage…WOW! Understand, as “half-empty” kind of guy, I do not make these statements lightly.

After the initial reaction, I began converting any piece in the system that was 120v-240v switchable and switched it to 240v then plugging it into the Torus. This included a Parasound JC-2BP Pre-amp I am auditioning, the Oppo 105 player, and the Escient Vision movie server. In each case there was as incremental improvement in the audio and video ( less video noise, especially dark noise).
In addition, the build quality is first rate and for a piece that is designed for functionality, for the most part the styling is handsome.

Apr 8, 2014 – I had terrible electrical problems that popped up over the last year. With every new store, restaurant and business that opened up in my suburban downtown location, it seemed my system performance took a hit. At first we thought the problem was equipment-based and I spent a few months swapping preamps, amps, cables and anything else I could think of, trying to find the problem. My system at this point was unlistenable. Collapsed soundstage, hard, brittle sounding with mud for bass. And that was on a good day!

Finally at the end of my rope one day, I found an old Richard Gray isolation unit out in my garage and brought it in. I plugged my preamp in and heard a small improvement. I spoke with my dealer the next day and he brought out a 20A, 120V rack version of a Torus Power unit. I plugged my preamp, phono pre and CD player into it. Immediate improvement and hope!

I listened for a few weeks and there was enough there to make me commit to the massive 90A 300Lb Torus Power wall panel-mounted power transformer. I had to wait and hope for 7 weeks until it finally arrived. It has been everything I hoped for. My system has returned to full fidelity giving me every ounce of performance I recall prior to its utter collapse over 1 year ago. I waited a few weeks to report on its success to make sure the fix was permanent.

I’m confident now that it is. For me, the Torus Power unit is a necessity and not a luxury…

---

Before I had the 15a and 20a (both balanced 240v), I had my electrician run I believe 6-7 gauge wire from my main panel and ran it up to my living room. He had installed 2X40a breakers in my main panel. In the living room,we put a sub panel that holds 8X15a breakers,so that gave me 8 duplex receptacles. 16 plugins (JUST IN CASE).

I was running a Hydra 6 (components) and 5X hydra 2s (power amps). When I heard about TORUS, AudioArk had a 15a balanced(240v) that I borrowed to check out. it was just as good or better than my Hydras, i had just about everything plugged in to the Torus. So since I wanted to separate components and amps(3X7Bssts+2X4B-ssts), I purchased a 20a(240v)Torus. As soon as hooked that up,We’ll I could not believe what was happening,more Bottom end,air ect. I e-mailed James tanner and asked what might be happening. I thought maybe I was getting older or losing it. the 15a wouldn’t let all that power unleash itself.

I believe if I remember correctly: 5X16.5a+82a(4ohms)+8 ohms=41a.2/3 of that,27a at 8 OHMS+65a at 4OHMS. So really with the 2X Torus,I have 35a.I already ordered a 45a balanced, as I’m trading the 15a in for the 45a and keeping the 20a(for components,sub,and 4bs(and the 45a for the7bs).

GETTING BACK to the sub panel,my electrician disabled 2 receptacles and gave me 2X240v receptacles. ALL I CAN SAY IS, WHAT AN UPGRADE THE TORUS’S MADE, HUGE,HUGE IMPROVEMENT. Sorry for the detail but I get right excited when I get a major improvement in my system.

June 6, 2022 – 2 x RM 20 units – The transformative power of the two torus units is astounding; my sweet spot went from a beach ball to a bathtub and the commensurate removal of noise and grunge has been as if a veil was removed from the music. I laugh thinking about all of the other audiophile power filters that cost 2-3x a torus unit and don’t even have a transformer inside, those folks are missing the toroidal benefits entirely.

October 28, 2021 – Received and installed the Torus Power AVR 20 and it made a much bigger difference than I had thought it would make. My input power is all over the place and output is smooth as silk. A hum in the speakers when music was paused is now gone.  Better bass, and just cleaner sounding.

June 16, 2020 – I just plugged in my Torus Power AVR 15 unit and noticed a HUGE difference within the first 30 seconds – blacker background, no dynamic compression whatsoever. Definitely a keeper.

March 1, 2020 – The most gratifying effect of the RM 20 has been elimination of occasional harshness in the treble range (violin, soprano, harpsichord) that I’ve been chasing since I built my listening room, about 6 years ago. Each addition of acoustic treatments has helped a little, as have improvements to the gear.

The speakers were chosen for low distortion and because their controlled directivity reduces reflections from the low (7 ft) ceiling and sidewalls. The source components, located near my chair, use filtered power from a competing product. Yet adding the RM 20 for the power amp has solved this longstanding irritation, to my great pleasure. 

I have been skeptical of claims made for power devices. The ones I’ve tried before had, at best, no audible effects. This Torus Power RM 20 is quite a difference, and I’m very glad I took the chance!

June 14, 2019 – “In building the showcase theater at the new CEDIA headquarters we combined advanced room isolation design with high-performance components and clean power delivered by the Torus Power All-In-One unit, and we have been able to achieve a dynamic experience that is second to none and worthy of being an industry showcase. We were not going to do this room without a Torus Power unit, or its equivalent. And there is no equivalent to what the Torus Power isolation transformers can accomplish in any size installation. Providing a steady stream of ample, clean power allows the system to perform at its very best and prevents it from being compromised. The Torus Power AIO absolutely fits the bill.”

May 29, 2019 – I have had some time to consider the TOT Mini and from first listen I believe it truly maximizes the sound quality of my small tube amp and the connected system. More presence and coherence to the sound, even a little more bite, and the notes sustain (and ultimately decay) more clearly and cleanly than in any system I recall owning. I am very happy with the TOT Mini in my main tube system and have plans for the Torus Power RM 15 model in another system.

June 30, 2017 – Since I have been so happy with the result of the TOT AVR on my second system I have no hesitation in using another Torus Power unit for the big system. Thanks to your advice, I purchased the TOT MAX with confidence. The results were like many of your customers’ testimonials, however there are several points that your would be customers should know.

The Torus Power TOT series unit, because it is so affordable, would single handedly improve any system it is partnered with in every parameter. If any one is thinking of upgrading his or her system buy the Torus Power first, you will be more than pleased with the result and the money you have saved.

Nowadays more and more hi fi enthusiasts are experimenting with grounding boxes and claiming good results. The Torus Power unit does just that and more, and it costs a lot less than these ground boxes.

Finally the Torus does need running in and any prospective owners should be patient.

Thank you very much for providing such a wonderful service and useful advice. In my opinion, the value of the Torus Power unit is very much under rated and more people should be aware of its many virtues.”

March 22, 2017 – I bought the Torus Power TOT Mini for the reference turntable I have that sits too far from the TOT AVR to be plugged directly into it.  What I had done prior was run a 15′ heavy duty extension cord from the AVR into a very expensive power cord.

I knew that wasn’t a good solution, so I purchased the Mini as you suggested.  I let it run in for two days but in my upstairs demo room, and today plugged it into the turntable.  It’s just unbelievable what a positive effect it has on dynamics, bass, and overall quiet backgrounds.  It is not an optional accessory, but mandatory for every system!  I’ll need another Mini for my upstairs demo room!

February 28, 2017 – With the TOT AVR feeding my reference system of a Mark Levinson No.334 stereo amplifier driving a pair of Revel Ultima Salon2 speakers, I heard subtle improvements in imaging, soundstage depth, and instrumental timbres, as well as in dynamic range, resolution, and tonal balance. The TOT created jet-“black” backgrounds that enhanced the three-dimensionality of images even when dynamics were extreme or the volume was loud. The more I lived with Torus Power’s TOT AVR, the more it delighted me. In my system, the TOT AVR improved musical detail and three-dimensional imaging for a wide range of music. I couldn’t have imagined how much this little power transformer could become a necessary part of my audio system until I’d lived with it for nearly a year.

January 2, 2017 – I installed the Torus Power AVR20 yesterday, and I could not be happier… It is gorgeous, dead quiet, and works beautifully… solid, powerful, stable, everying good in a power product… especially QUIET…

I’m so delighted to know about your product line and will be a proud and vocal advocate of these products to my audio buddies worldwide…

It was the perfect answer to a frustrating problem… and this solved it 100%

Many many thanks… and I’m so happy to have this. It was the missing/annoying part of the system, and now it is “all good!”….

April 26, 2015 – I have been having problems with an intermediate transformer hum in a 240vac Krell FPB300cx Power Amplifier. It appears to be due to noise on the house incoming 240vac power supply from local industry and is worse through the week when they are working. I have tried a number of different devices (DC blockers and filters) but nothing has worked to stop the 2kVA transformer hum. I contacted Len Wallis Audio in Sydney who sells Krell and Torus Power and they suggested using a Torus Power transformer. My Torus Power AVR 16 AUS CB arrived and is working well. So far the Krell transformer has been quiet. And as an added bonus the system has more dynamics, bass extension and clarity. Sound improvements that are very welcome.

TP-WM-1Let’s see where to start. I have been an audiophile for years now. I tried a few high-end wires (even ones in the 4-5 grand range) and cords and even a few conditioners but always had to strain my ears and brain to hear a difference. In the end I didn’t bother with any of it cause I thought it could very well be my imagination or perhaps my hearing simply wasn’t good enough to detect any change. So I figured my money was better spent elsewhere (at least for me). I have heard drastic changes when changing loudspeakers or rooms, significant changes when changing from a cheap preamp to a Bryston and also some digital sources.

I have heard very small to moderate changes between amps (usually small). I read so many glowing comments on the Torus Power transformer that I decided to revisit this area in my system and so ordered a Torus RM-15 which arrived yesterday. My 2 channel system consists of B&W 802D speakers, Bryston BP-26 preamp, Sony’s newest 5400 SACD player and Bryston 4B SST amp. All wires are Bryston and Bluejean.

I plugged the Torus RM 15 in and decided to let things settle for about 10 hours (as it was cold from transit). After this initial period I threw in the first CD and was astonished at the change as I really wasn’t expecting much if anything. The soundstage is simply incredible with more definition, more balance, silky smooth highs seem to extend into nothingness, voice is more pinpoint and incredibly natural without any edge, bass is more taught etc. I could go on and on but frankly I want to get back to my system.

I will say this. It is very very seldom that a change in my system makes me want to revisit all my CD collection but the Torus has done just that. At the price it is an absolute steal. Those of you who have one already know this but for those who don’t I would highly recommend and audition. I would only offer one other piece of advice regarding the Torus, don’t audition one until you can afford it cause you are not going to want to be without it.

Background:Almost a year ago, I replaced a Sonic Frontier Line 1 pre, and two Power 1 amps (vertical biamp) in my main system, with a BP 26 and a 14 BSST, also from Creative Audio. I spent a fair amount of time tweaking those pieces with power cord changes, footers, cardas caps, and more recently swapping out almost all my IC’s to Bryston ones, replacing more expensive, but not as good sounding, cables.

So main core of the system is basically Bryston. Other components include a VPI Scoutmaster to a very tweaked Slee Era Gold V phono section, digital side is done by a Musical Fidelity A3 CDP used as a transport to a Musical Fidelity Trivista DAC (where the Bryston cable also makes a great digital cable), and the tuner is a Parasound Halo T3, connected by XLR to the pre. Speakers are Martin Logan Aeons.(with Goertz M1.3cables)

Almost everything has been tweaked. Atlantis Reference stands (2), with clumping kitty litter in the tubes, Linn skeets under the top shelves and bottom of the stands, 3 inch maple block under the TT, footers include Tara Lab vanishing points, BDR’s, and Finite Element ceraballs, and more Linn skeets under the speakers.

Power cords are a range from Moray James, into almost all things including the speakers. I am aware that power matters, and that power cords tend to improve things, but also that they react differently to individual components. Everything was originally plugged into a Panamax 5510, with power set to balanced on the 4 transformer based lines (regenerated ) which I used for the CDP, DAC,

… just want you to know that we got the Torus and used it for the show in Göteborg this weekend. It was fantastic. The show was excellent and we received many comments like “best show sound” etc…. Certainly there was a great difference between running on “hotel power” and the incredible foundation given by the Torus. We really loved the way it gave “super-strength” to the gear which sounded just fantastic, and bottomless-powerful. We love it! Great Product!

James, you helped me with some pre-purchase questions and I’d like to pass on some very positive feedback from my RM-10 and BCD-1 experience: both products work very well and I’ve been particularly impressed with the RM-10. I’ve changed CD players before and had a general idea of what to expect, but had never tried any kind of power filter / conditioner / isolator before. So, since I live in a condo building I thought I might be more subject to power line noise than a house so thought some basic conditioning might be a good idea.
WOW.

I’m amazed that such a ‘simple’ change can yield such a noticeable improvement. While I wouldn’t say the improvement(s) were dramatic, they were definitely significant and more than justify the RM-10 investment. Here’s the comment you gave me pre-purchase: ”I think you would find everything sounds more relaxed and easier to hear small details in the music with the Torus. The noise floor gets lowered and you really can hear more into things.” This was exactly my experience and I’d add that my soundstage is definitely more 3-dimensional. I have two sources, a tuner and a BCD-1 and I’ve noticed the most pronounced change with the tuner. I had only had the BCD-1 for a little while before receiving the RM-10, so maybe my ears were not as accustomed to the BCD-1 sound as with my tuner? Anyway, I am very pleased with both components. Thanks for any advice.
