    Entreq Tellus grounding

    Ozzy, I've done it no problem but the dealer told me that best SQ is achieved where the boat sits horizontally in the ground.

    Dedicated Modem

    Hello everyone. I currently own a dCS Vivaldi and I would like to improve the sound quality of any streaming source. I am wondering whether anyone has ever tried connecting a separate, dedicated modem directly to the upsampler/streamer. By separate, I mean a dedicated modem with its own fiber...

    Transparent Opus Gen 5 vs Transparent Opus MM2 mini review

    I am going to upgrade cables in my dcs Vivaldi stack, D'Agostino Momentum phono preamp and Transparent Audio Isolator from Reference to Opus. I already have Opus IC throughout the system and Opus speaker cables, except for my Gryphon amps (respectively, Gryphon Mephisto and Gryphon Commander...

    Transparent Audio: Gen 6 Announcement

    Yea it’s a reference clock (external). So, leaving aside the Gryphon, the only units which would be non-Opus would be the external switch and the reference clock.

    Transparent Audio: Gen 6 Announcement

    As far as power cords, I’m planning to use Opus gen 6 PCs on all of my main components except for my Gryphon amp and preamp (4 cables in total), where I use Gryphon Vanta PCs as recommended by Gryphon. The only components on which I will still have TA Ref are my external switch (i.e, its...

    Transparent Audio: Gen 6 Announcement

    I already have TA Opus on my speaker cables and two ICs (dac-preamp and preamp-power amp). In the future, I may also replace the one on the phono stage-preamp too. Do you think that power cords would be a big improvement in terms of SQ as compared to the Reference line?

    Transparent Audio: Gen 6 Announcement

    Hi. I’m considering replacing my current Trasparent Audio Reference cables (power cables and IC) in both my digital (full Vivaldi stack) and analog (Bergmann Odin/My Sonic Lab Platinum cartridge/ D’Agostino Momentum Phono stage) sources with Transparent Audio Opus Gen 6 cables. i don’t have an...

    Best turntable under 50k?

    Thanks a lot Johan. I’ll see if I can find one to audition.

    Best turntable under 50k?

    Sorry Johan. I was actually referring to the tonearm cable (din/rca). I’m presently using a Kimber cable and it’s not so great.

    Best turntable under 50k?

    Thanks. I’m hesitant since my cabling as far as IC, speaker and phono is all TA (Reference XL or Opus). The only exception so far are the power cables on the Gryphon amp and the preamp which have their own (excellent) Vanta cables.

    My next step - Pandora?

    What would be the greatest improvement in terms of SQ between a new Commander preamp or new Mephisto mono amps in a system composed of Essence momo amps and a Pandora preamp?

    Entreq Tellus grounding

    Very excited about some recent (major) tweaks in my system. To start off, I’ve finally placed my stereo equipment on a dedicated AC line with a dedicated circuit breaker (https://www.doepke.de/en/products/p…sidual-current-f/for-audiophile-applications/ 2). I am now waiting to receive a Plixir...

    Isolation Transformer and Balanced Power versus PS Audio Regenerator

    Just ordered a Plixir 3000 BAC Élite, which will be connected via Furutech NCF plugs to my already installed Doepke circuit breaker. Looking forward to it!

    Entreq Tellus grounding

    It’s exactly the same tech in both combos except that the plutons contain larger boxes. I’ll send an email to PO and make a decision. Thanks for all your help guys. Really appreciated.

    Entreq Tellus grounding

    Would you guys go wi a) two plutons + two Olympus ten infinity tungsten OR b) two Olympus infinity tungsten + six Olympus ten infinity tungsten (or perhaps step by step). The issue is that my dealer doesn’t have plutons in stock so I would need to order them. What do you think? My fear is to do...

    Entreq Tellus grounding

    Does anyone use Magma both below and on top of groundboxes? My dealer recommended to place (i) Magma Infinity Slim (not Tungsten) below each ground box + (ii) three Magma Infinity Tungsten (the double ones) on top of each box + (iii) Magma Infinity Tungsten (the double ones) on top of each of...

    Entreq Tellus grounding

    Is it ok placing a large ground box right behind the speakers? I’m just wondering whether it could act as a bass trap or something.

    Entreq Tellus grounding

    Just one doubt. What do you guys think about the above system vs two pluton? I can say that the small box sounded great particularly on the phono stage.

    Entreq Tellus grounding

    I’ve finally been able to audition Entreq in my system and I LOVE what I’ve heard. Considering available space etc., I’ll probably choose the following elements: - 2 OLYMPUS INFINITY TUNGSTEN for the power amps - 4 OLYMPUS TEN INFINITY TUNGSTEN for the preamp (two channels), phono preamp and...

    Entreq Tellus grounding

    Does anyone use (or has ever heard) Entreq AND Stein Harmonizers at the same time? Conflicts or synergies? I’m currently demoing a couple Stein Harmonizers and I like what I hear. Still waiting to dem the Entreq ground boxes. thanks. F.
