All new Entreq Ground Boxes due out soon!
Entreq have just announced the imminent arrival of 3 new ground boxes to their range. They are the Minimus Infinity (£380), the Silver Minimus Infinity (£600) and the Silver Tellus Infinity (£2100).
Visually they look identical to the original Minimus, Silver Minimus and Silver Tellus, but these new boxes are utilising a lot of the grounding technology that they have championed in the Olympus 10 and the Olympus Infinity.
Each of the new boxes is substantially more capable than their predecessors, the new Minimus Infinity is more effective than a Silver Minimus for example. Plus, the new boxes are much more adept at having multiple items connected to them at once. All of the ground boxes perform better with less on them, but on the new Minimus and Silver Minimus you can easily hang 2 or 3 items on the back with no real loss of performance. Digital and analogue grounds should ideally be get separate as always.
The big change with the new models comes with the Silver Tellus Infinity. The previous Silver Tellus has 4 posts on the back all of which were shared – this meant the Silver Tellus had a huge capacity, but you couldn’t ground anything independently on it, so noisy routers or USB cables were not really possible. On the new Silver Tellus there is still 4 posts, but now only 3 of them are shared, the 4th post is completely independent so it can used to ground something on its own. This adds so much flexibility and when connected up to a system in the right way it will deliver a lot more performance and it’s something that isn’t difficult to demonstrate on a half decent system. The single post is superior to a Silver Minimus Infinity, but not quite an Olympus 10.
Stock of the new boxes in due in over the 2 to 3 weeks and we anticipate the initial batch of boxes will not last long. Part exchanging an old ground box for one of the new models is possible. Please get in touch to find out how much it would cost to swap.
Few examples presuming the ground box being part exchanged is in unmarked condition and in original packaging
Minimus to Minimus Infinity £200 to change
Silver Minimus to Silver Minimus Infinity £320 to change
Silver Tellus to Silver Tellus Infinity £1100 to change

Meanwhile we've changed monoamp grounding from Tellus II to Silver Tellus Infinity. Wow-effect. But it took some days of break in ! Now bigger sound and more ease. We've never had better piano sound than now. Really awesome.

I use the RCA digital input for my Apollo earth on my DCS Scarlatti transport and dual aes so what you propose should be fine for the CH Precision.
Let us know how it goes.

Thanks Barry. I just received my CH Precision D1 a month back. Am currently running it in and will try the Entreq once it is fully run in.

Will look forward to reading how it goes

Next Friday, according to Fedex, an Olympus Infinity will arrive. According to Per Olov it is the best box he has ever made. I'm excited.

 

[Barry2013]

That's great.
Will look forward to reading about it.
Take care of your back when installing it. I can still remember how heavy my Olympus Tellus was when I got that home.

 

[nonesup]

Well, this has the same size and weight as the Olympus Minimus (which will replace), so it is a manageable weight. It has two poles but communicated internally (not like the Poseidon), however Per Olov tells me wonders about him.

 

[Barry2013]

My mistake nonesup

The Olympus Infinity arrived on Friday. I'm not a good audio descriptor, but I can say WOW! with capital letters. I do not know what Per Olof has done, but it's much better than the Olympus Minimus (Poseidon / 3). I had never had treble so clean and lacking "digital stress". The texture and the orchestral weight are magnificent. I do not know, my team just sounds a lot better. In. how much can I buy a second box.

 

[Barry2013]

Wow!
What are you using it on?

 

[nonesup]

It has two poles.
After several tests: Melco first post and second post Kassandra.

Thank you Francisco
Seems very tempting.
Are you using your previous earthing cables or did you get a pair of the Olympus Infinity earth cables to go with it?
Previous ground boxes have usually taken a while to reach their full potential so I will be interested to know if further improvements become apparent after it has fully settled in.
Enjoy!

I have an Eartha Olympus Infinity, but it's RJ45. The two Eartha that go to new box, are Apollo Infinity. The idea is to change them by Olympus Infinity progressively.

 

[Barry2013]

Thank you Francisco
That obviously makes sense

 

[nonesup]

I had promised myself to wait a bit before buying a second Olympus Infinity, but it's just so good, I could not resist and I overcame the temptation by falling into it

 

[Barry2013]

Marvellous
I can't think of a better recommendation

Wonder when the poseidon infinity is coming? That has to be in the cards.

 

[nonesup]

I already asked PO before buying the first Olympus Infinity. He told me that for technical reasons there will not be a Poseidon Infinity (he did not explain which ones). However he quietly told me a novelty for summer .....

 

[Barry2013]

Thanks Francisco
It is helpful to know that a Poseidon Infinity will not be an option
