Entreq for Dummies

Great stuff Speedskater. Maybe you can then proceed to tell us all how to make audiophile cables retailing for $1k, $10k, etc etc, for a fraction of the cost too. I'm not being sarcastic, I really do feel the tricks of the high priced crowd should be laid bare.
Have you investigated the Troy and Dalby ground cables which retail for $4k and $10k respectively? If Entreq is to be criticised by inference at prices of $500-$1k for ground cables, what do we make of those exalted prices?
Kurt Denke over at Blue Jeans Cable has figured out the secret to making really good cables at really low prices. He is also real good at explaining what a good cable needs to be.
 
Say......
my experience on Entreq is more boxes within your system is the more capability of transforming energy process.
And the higher cable level is the faster the currents go into the box.
I really like Entreq I enjoy customizing my system sounding whenever I want.
The most quiet or most details is not alway the best. It is the best when you get your hifi system right to how your ears like it.
I would call my systems as mid-end hifi system. I only own bookshelf passive loud speakers. The biggest one I have is Stirling Broadcast SB88
I also have:
Triangle Comete 40th ani
Elac BS 312
Tannoy Autograph Mini (1st edition)
JBL compact II
Linn Kann (1979)
Totem Kin mini
I usually change my preference of speakers every 3-4 months.
I also have mid-high end amp.
Hegel 120 (int)
JBL SA750 (int)
Gryphon Atilla (int)
Leak Audio 130 (int)
Jeff Rowland Capri2 SC (Pre)
Balanced Audio Technology VK55se
(single end parallel) (power)
Karan Acoustic MK3 (power)
Specs (RSA-777 the cheapest one) (int)
some are first hand and the others good condition second hand.
perhaps all of these cost combine together might not be as half the price of someone in here hifi system price.
Still I am pretty much enjoy my listening time.
I would say that Entreq ground boxes work to all of my components mostly good to my ears but with some adjustment of boxes and eartha cables. The effect could be from slightly to very obvious depend on that particular component.
I also used furutech wall outlet such as ncf carbon fiber.
I am lucky to have my hand on SAEC PC-tripple C cables as well as Audio Replas Insulators (Pure Quartz Super surface)
My speaker cable is SAEC SPC-850
(Pc-tripple C) with furutech ncf cabon fiber banana plug. SAEC XR-6000 and
SAEC AC-6000 power Cable etc. I also own one of analogue rca connector of Furutech line flux serie also. Still my Entreq discovery AC cable (not with the infinity Tech) is a part of my System.
And that is already 12 years already!
Infinity Groundbox is very impressive but with T as Tungsten is better! However in my system is a mix of these boxes with vary of different ground cables to suit my ears.
I happened to just try out Mixmax-T2 and Magneus Power recently.
I really like MixMax-T2 - Calmer, bigger note and very natural analogue sound. The Magneus power at my main going to my power distribution I was expecting highly from it. But.....Not as much of what I was expecting. It works as it is describe on Entreq website. I can hear more things from my songs. Perhaps, the sound is started becoming too gentle, smooth, and flow which is not quite flavor to my ears.
Every time, I change my amp+speakers I alway adjust all my cables including eartha cable and ground box as well.
I don't know what wrong with Entreq in most of webs blog. The price is considered the cheapest and afforable with variety of ground boxes and cables to be choosed from. Starting price is at 230-290euros as I recall.
Where Telos ground box monster pricing at 40K USD, Tripoint and Nordost and perhaps 10 more well known others brands starting price as 2000-3000 euro. All of them seems to claim their own confusing theories (to me). And I never seen any single one of them brave enough to claim their exact result with giving some deep explanation on how it work as a grounding box. Almost every other brands apart from Entreq claim that they are better because of having proper reference point but my question is why almost all of them not calling their product as "ground box" but merely "ground conditioner" or "ground stabilizer" or "grounding hub" can someone tell me? For Shunyata if you read on their website on grounding products.......I don't think their product grounding anything. They refer their product to "ground filtering" I guess they are confuse with their own native language?? Grounding (to me) mean to send the electric current into the earth or to somewhere that can transforms electric current which may carrying a kind of energy then transform into other kind of energy such as heat or kinetic energy. Can some one tell me what "ground filtering" on Shunyata website supposed to mean then? So is it grounding? or just filtering noise?? I really want to know perhaps I can have better understanding of things.
But please don't get me wrong. If you are enjoying whatever brand or product please continue. I just don't understand what with the Entreq on this kind of web forum. At the end of the day, I care for the products that could give me better listening experience.
