great stuff...where does it connect to? i know that some speaker manufacturers have a grounding post on the back using a separate binding post.

Connects to the speaker binding post . Entreq does something similar with the Posiedon , but only to the negative binding post .

This is no 'grounding device, Lloyd.

will be interesting to hear comments from those who have tried either Entreq or Tripoint this way. thanks

i know how the Tripoint Troy Signature compares (in my mind approximately 5x) the Entreq Silver Tellus on my front end.

and i have an idea of the sonic effects the Entreq Poseidon grounded to my negative speaker terminals. the mind 'boggles' imagining that same '5x' factor (or more).

the question(s) for me would be is my money better spent adding a Tripoint Prince to the front end and moving my Tripoint Troy to the amps (for amp chassis grounding)? or simply adding 2 of these Empress units to my amps and staying with my Troy on the front end? are these Empress units better suited to grounding the signal path with the amps than the Prince or Troy? chassis grounding or signal path grounding?

we are talking about the meaning of life type stuff here.

scratching my toy car itch has slowed down any additional audio investments for now.

Luckily the box is not a 'ground'. A good definition for ground is: A common reference point. Many power amplifiers would be unhappy having their speaker outputs tied to a common reference point.

Hi Mike,

Which cables did you use when you 1st compared the troy and the silver tellus.

The addition of a good grounding cable seems to boost these grounding devices up a few notches, even for the entreqs, so just to get a prespective of what adding the troy would do.
