Complete range of Entreq ground boxes are now available @ X Audio (except Olympus Ten as it is totally sold out)
Why use our Ground Box's ?
For us a clean and effective ground point is one of the most important factor's in ensuring the best possible sonic platform for any hifi system!
We all generally understand the basic principles about the importance of good earthing/grounding as well as a clean feed for our electrical supply. Whether that be from the simple perspective of safety or in the case of music lovers, a pure un-interupted signal for our sensitive electronics to operate optimally.
Unlike the earthing/grounding for the mains power our ground box's are designed to be connected, with the use of our various dedicated ground cables, directly to the ground plane of your audio equipment. In Entreq research we found that finding the optimal conditions to draw, among many other things, unwanted noise, field effects, capacitor discharge, as well as creating a stable ground plane free from fluctuations, is a far more important yet complex issue than you might think. We are sure that once you have heard our Grounding solution's you will be in no doubt about the validity of our approach.
If you can effectively remove or drain away the pollutants, stray magnetic currents and impedance fluctuations before they contaminate the sound, there becomes no need for the active synthetic filters & other such devices commonly recommended by many manufacturers. Our ground box's are surprisingly heavy, feeling very solid and robust. However we do not talk about the specifics of construction, materials or any of the development technology housed within any of our products, especially the range of Ground Boxes.
Once you have listened to your system with one of our grounding systems in place we are sure you will relate to our philosophy and hopefully appreciate your music and the musicians more intimately.
More comprehensive explanation of Entreq grounding approach as follow
Entreq has four levels of groundboxes and with each level there is two lines. They start out with their entry level which is the Tellus and Minimus. At the other end you have the Olympus range. We think you can find a box that fit your personal demands.
For Entreq a clean and effective ground point is one of the most important factor's in ensuring the best possible sonic platform for any hifi system!
They normally say 230V 50Hz or 110 V 60Hz. In their opinion there are a lot more frequency on the power net. These is caused by the way we connect zero and protective ground together in the main central/fuse boxes. Most things these days run on electricity. Current goes in and current goes out of devices and lighting fixtures of every kind. All of these make the current messy. Not least computers with their switched power units, chargers for e.g., mobile telephones, all the halogen and LED lighting, dimmers etc. all cause a great deal of high-frequency noise and stay voltages. This noise always seeks the easiest path to the earth. And since this can be everything from 50-60 Hz to very high-frequency, but weak, currents, it is not always certain that the path of least resistance is via the protective earth. These currents instead can find dishwashers, laundry machines, counter tops with water pipes, your Hi-Fi rack and your stereo set with all the cables and devices as more attractive paths to the earth. Moreover, these stay voltages often generate very large magnetic fields that absolutely have influence on the sound reproduction.
One big problem is that the protective ground many time are overloaded or not constructed for handle this pollution. It can handle a real "bang" of 110-220Volt and X Watts without any problems, but when it come to this small currents of some mV with very high frequency it does not catch them. So instead these will flow around in the power system searching for a place to ground. And in fact the protective ground can leak back a lot of pollution to the power net that instead go to fix your Hi-Fi system with all the cables and magnetic fields and load up and rest there in their search for ground. Entreq ground boxes / Eartha cables are designed to resemble and work like a bit of Mother Earth in concentrated form and offer the simplest and fastest route for this high-frequency noise to reach a earth point. Since such are very high-frequency weak currents, it is not necessary to have a lot of mass; but it is important that the cables are optimized for these high frequency and the groundbox be a purely attractive earth point. The construction and choice of materials in the earth box has a crucial effect on the result. In part, the minerals and metals involved have an effect, but the relationship of proportion and distance between them also affects the result.
When you connect your system to one of their ground boxes you offer this high frequency stay voltages a ground point where they can find peace instead of flowing around in the system.
Since the connection cables have a huge impact on the result, we recommend you to choose Eartha cables with care. We have a wide range of Eartha cables from our entry cable Eartha Copper to our top line Atlantis with all kind of connectors.
Price range from $400 onward
