Thanks for the info. What other components did you connect to the Tellus? How many hours have you had on it? Also, how much more effective is the silver one vs the much cheaper copper one?
Thanks,

Entreq Silver Tellus grounding/earthing system
Jarraa, have left it at only connecting the preamp to the Silver Tellus. We tried one from the earthing post on my phono stage, but this actually didn't enhance the sound. This may not be the case on every system, the dealer was a little confused by this, but kudos to him, he accepted the fact. And my cd player only has balanced jacks, and Entreq haven't yet released a balanced i/c, although this is imminent. When the system beds in, I'll try the cd i/c and possibly give the phono i/c another go. At present there is no way to try connecting power amps or integral powered subs, to the Silver Tellus in my system. The enhancement starts to work within about ten minutes, but really kicks in after about ten days, and then seems to stay consistent. I feel the Silver is a significant improvement over the Copper, well worth the extra cost. Dan, hi, we've spoken before. Just demolished my ESCCO stylus. GRRR! Great I'm in the queue for another. Yes, it's taken the system up several stages, I really believe more than a whole system swap. It's THAT dramatic. But I do live in an area with severely compromised mains. In the country etc, or other areas where mains is purer, the improvements may not be as dramatic. Insist on a home trial. |
Spiritofmusic, Does the "Entreq Silver Tellus grounding/earthing system" connect directly to earth, the equipment ground, or main grounding system of your home? If the unit is not directly connected to one of the above, why the use of the word "earthing" in "Entreq Silver Tellus grounding/earthing system" An inherent problem with three phase electrical systems is the level of “stray currents” which are Entreq Silver Tellus grounding/earthing system . |
"I feel the Silver is a significant improvement over the Copper, well worth the extra cost." Can you shed some more light on that? I, much like you, live in a dirty mains area (city) and my system in the day is sometimes unlistenable! Thanks! In regards to power amps and speakers I thought entreq has a spade to spade connector that allows you to unscrew a screw on the chasis, slip in the spade and retighten it. |
Jea, yes maybe it is more accurate to describe Tellus as a grounding box, especially since it's separate from the grid, and is not meant to replace the (electrical) protective earth. The box is passive and standalone, and might best be described as a sump that mains borne and component generated nasties ie rf/emi etc drain into, isolated from the system and grid. Jaraa, the Silver Tellus has a calmer quality than the Copper, and does it's job even more successfully, that a certain warm colouration still present in vinyl with the Copper is absent with the Silver. Also, check out balanced power first, any cheap 4kVA isolation transformer will bring a transformation in corrupted mains areas. Then, try the Tellus. |
