Entreq Silver Argo Grounding Kit

Entreq Silver Argo Grounding Kit

The Silver Argo kit is the premium package offering from Entreq, comprising of the Silver Minumus Infinity Ground Box and a 1.65m Argo grounding cable, and offers a £140 saving on buying them individually! Like all of Entreq's new range of ground cables, the Argo comes with a 3.5mm termination and an RCA adaptor as standard, but could also be supplied with USB-A, RJ45, Spade, XLR (male & female), UK, Schuko or US mains click adaptors. This versatility greatly simplifies the offering from Entreq and offers total compatibilty with whichever device you wish to connect to.

Please note: this product comes with just one adaptor of your choosing. Extra adaptors are sold separately, and can be found in the 'Related Products' section.

What Entreq say

For Entreq a clean and effective ground point is one of the most important factor's in ensuring the best possible sonic platform for any hifi system!

They normally say 220V 50Hz alternative110 V 60Hz. But in their opinion there are a lot more frequence on the power net. These is caused by the way we connect zero and protective ground together in the main central/fuse boxes. Most things these days run on electricity. Current goes in and current goes out of devices and lighting fixtures of every kind. All of these make the current messy. Not least computers with their switched power units, chargers for e.g., mobile telephones, all the halogen and LED lighting, dimmers etc. all cause a great deal of high-frequency noise and stay voltages. This noise always seeks the easiest path to the earth. And since this can be everything from 50-60 Hz to very high-frequency, but weak, currents, it is not always certain that the path of least resistance is via the protective earth. These currents instead can find dishwashers, laundry machines, counter tops with water pipes, your HiFi rack and your stereo set with all the cables and devices as more attractive paths to the earth. Moreover, these stay voltages often generate very large magnetic fields that absolutely have influence on the sound reproduction.

One big problem is that the protective ground many time are overloaded or not constructed for handle this pollutions. It can handle a real "bang" of 110-220Volt and X Watts without any problems, but when it come to this small currents of some Milli V with very high frequence it dont catch them. So instead these will flow arround in the power system searching for a place to ground. And in fact the protective grond can leak back a lot of pollutions to the power net that instead go to fix your HiFi system with all the cables and magnetic fields and load up and rest there in their serch for ground. Entreq ground boxes / Eartha cables are designed to resemble and work like a bit of Mother Earth in concentrated form and offer the simplest and fastest route for this high-frequency noise to reach a earth point. Since such are very high-frequency weak currents, it is not necessary to have a lot of mass; but it is important that the cables are optimized for these high frequency and the groundbox be a purely attractive earth point. The construction and choice of materials in the earth box has a crucial effect on the result. In part, the minerals and metals involved have an effect, but the relationship of proportion and distance between them also affects the result.

When you connect your system to one of their groundboxes you offer this high frequence stay voltages a ground point where they can find peace instead of flowing arround in the system.

Since the connection cables have a huge impact on the result, we recomend you to choose Eartha cables with care. We have a wide range of Eartha cables from our entry cable Eartha Cupper to our top line Atlantis with all kind of connectors.

Silver Minimus

The Silver Minimus, like its sibling the Minimus, has only 1 outlet. However it encorporates the same enhancements and mineral mix as the Silver Tellus. Thus offering a signicantly more effective grounding than the standard Minimus. Even a brief exposure to the Silver Minimus will quickly validate its benefit. Whether use it solely for their Ertha grounding or with our unique signal cables.

Note: As with the Silver Tellus the choice of "Ertha" cable used with the Silver Minimus is critical to obtaining its full potential.

Entreq Guide to Grounding

Ground Box

Something to establish is that Entreq’s use of the term Ground does not directly relate to or mean ‘Primary Earth’ i.e. what you would understand as your ‘Protective Earth’ for your mains electricity. Entreq Ground Boxes are not designed to substitute or replace the protective ground found in your home. The function of the Entreq Ground Box is to present itself as an attractive destination for high frequency noise, stray voltages and the various issues induced by magnetic field effects. This pollution is littered across the system and is always present. Different systems attract, generate and produce different levels and types of noise! This is why Entreq offer a selection of Ground Boxes to suit every system and budget.

Get Connected

You now need to connect your Ground Box to your equipment! Establishing a connection to your hifi system with an Entreq Grounding Box couldn’t be simpler. Entreq make a range of Ground Cables called Ertha Cables that attach to any free and available connection on any product connected to your system. Connections currently catered for include: RCA, XLR, USB, BNC and RJ45. On the other end of the Ertha Cable is a spade termination that attaches to the Ground Box itself. As per the Ground Boxes these Ertha cables come in a range of levels; offering the end user the ability to closely match the right combination of both Ground Box and Ertha Cable to obtain optimal performance. Generally the key component to Ground first is often the product at the centre or hub of your system, whether that is your Pre-amplifier, Integrated amplifier or Dac/pre . Next you should consider a source component; either your CD player / DAC, Streamer, Phono stage etc. Once connected to your system the improvements are usually noticeable within minutes however the grounding process will continue to evolve. After approximately 24 hours you will in most cases have obtained the optimal result. It is not uncommon to hear continual improvements up to and beyond 72 hours!
