    Entreq Tellus grounding

    Yes, the guy who lives in the castle surrounded by 24 ground rods :)

    Entreq Tellus grounding

    That's what Wikipedia says. How does this apply to your ground rod (which is what you wanted to measure)?

    Entreq Tellus grounding

    Or something else altogether?

    Ultra 6 being released

    These were announced at CES last year. Compared to the Ultra 5, they have an additional technology pocket on the bottom side (bringing the total number of pockets to 6). They need to be screwed in or used with the optional bases.

    Entreq Tellus grounding

    So the Olympus boxes are out there. It would be nice to get some sonic comparisons to the Silver Tellus.

    Entreq Tellus grounding

    One interesting observation (at least for me) is that 1kitch's ARC REF40 line stage is a dual-mono design very similar to my REF10, and yet he prefers using a single ground cable, while I strongly prefer using two. Individual preferences might be at play, or perhaps the cables selection is...

    The very best DACs today...

    Aries is Latin for "ram". Cerat is probably from the Greek ????? ("horn) or ?????? ("horns").

    Entreq Tellus grounding

    You are familiar with my system, so you can judge whether or not my statement that it did not have any spurious brightness to start with is a fair one. I also think that the review you are referring to is the one that has the comment by the Polish distributor at the end stating that the rounded...

    Entreq Tellus grounding

    It seems to me you are still wasting your time measuring resistance (BTW, wasn't it impedance?), since you do not know if indeed there a critical level below which the Entreq won't help and, if so, what it is. In any case, my friend who has 24 ground rods has received his Silver Tellus...

    Entreq Tellus grounding

    Entirely agreed. I do exactly the same, making full use of measurements whenever possible. Distance, rake and toe in for my speakers have been adjusted with a dedicated laser tool designed by the manufacturer, the built-in bass equalization has been set using a computer measurement system...

    Entreq Tellus grounding

    Micro, that is an interesting quotation. I have no problem believing that there are many complex factors that affect the design of grounding schemes for modern audio equipment and that a simple measurement (such as impedance to ground) is going to be useless in assessing whether or not ground...

    Entreq Tellus grounding

    So your logical conclusion based on your belief and on what people have been reporting should be that: (1) most components, even in the very top tier, have their signal and ground planes tied together at some point, and (2) even in systems using multiple dedicated ground rods, the ground...

    Entreq Tellus grounding

    Dan, do you really believe that the very different (and certainly top notch) electronics used by the people who have been posting enthusiastically about the effect of the Entreq and Tripoint ground boxes here and on other forums (such as AE) suffer from poor grounding schemes, as suggested by...

    Entreq Tellus grounding

    Maril, I have not heard the Powers or Cleanus that were the subject of the review you mention. But, as far as the Silver Tellus is concerned, in my system it did not round the attack or warm the sound or eliminate any excess brightness (which I did not have to start with). What it did in my...

    Entreq Tellus grounding

    I believe that the Polish Entreq distributor has advised against using the somewhat compliant Lynx feet under the ground boxes.
