Entreq Tellus II Infinity Tri-Cell Ground Box

Entreq Tellus II Infinity Tri-Cell Ground Box

Entreq announced in early October 2019 the new version of the popular Tellus II Ground Box, the Tellus II Infinity.

The Entreq range of ground boxes are designed to remove noise and pollutants present in the signal path. By removing these unwanted pollutants we lower the noise floor and subsequently improve the performance of the connected product. This improves dynamics, detail retrieval whilst remaining natural and organic in presentation.

The original Tellus II was a very flexible ground box, It had 3 posts on all of which were completely isolated from one another, which makes it incredibly flexible to use within a system. The 2 outside ground posts on the original Tellus 2 were Silver Minimus and the centre post was a Silver Minimus with an Atlantis Minimus integrated into it (think of it as a turbocharged Silver Minimus).

The Tellus II Infinity follows the same concept, there are still 3 posts and there are all independent to one other, but on this version, the 2 outside posts are Silver Minimus Infinity and the centre post is now a single Olympus Ten!

The Tellus II Infinity offers great value for money when you look at what you get, the Silver Minimus Infinity are £600 each and the Olympus Ten are £1100 so to buy these 3 boxes separately would cost £2300, for £2000 in one box the level of performance you will get the money is quite startling, all posts over a significant upgrade over the original Tellus II.

By having all 3 ground posts independent from one another means you could take an integrated amplifier and ground the negative speaker outputs on the 2 outside posts and ground the input of amplifier on the centre post. If you have a pre-power combination you could also ground this way. I have one customer with an original Tellus 2 who uses it to ground his Melco, DAC and Entreq USB interconnect cable, another whose uses it to ground the negative outputs of his power amps and his phono stage.

The applications for this in systems are almost limitless. In reality, there are so many options it hinges on what is in the system to ground plus your imagination! It is best to think of a Tellus II Infinity as a baby Poseidon!

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!
