If so, what inputs are you connecting to?
I use Phono 2 R on both Master and Companion.

Finally had a chance to try a S.Tellus and Apollo cables.
In my system, the effects are very subtle at best.

I'm keen to hear from any Entreq users that have had a chance to test the new Olympus box... how does it compare to the Silver Minimus and Silver Tellus?
I'm told a larger version of the Olympus (48kgs?!) with 6 ground posts is currently going into production, with a dedicated ground post for mains distributions blocks/filters. Details are still a little sketchy but I hope to learn more soon.

Hi, it seems like entreq ground box would contribute to the sound quality. I am interested to adding entreq box to my system. Would anyone be kind enough to share how it is connected to devialet. Also, for a D120, would it make a lot of difference between a minimus and a silver minimus?

You need one ground cable (one of their 'Eartha' cables) to connect ground box to Devialet. You need an Eartha cable that would plug into a free sock - RCA, XLR,USB whatever is free. The cable makes a big difference unfortunately, but you really need to try different ones to figure which works best. Expensive isn't always better.
You will also probably be disappointed with a Minimus or Silver Minimus on a Devialet unfortunately as it doesn't really make much of an improvement. I found I had to use a Tellus to really hear an improvement. I went for a Silver Tellus in the end but in hindsight the ordinary Tellus probably would've been good enough for my one Devialet D200.

The US Distributor just posted this on WBF:
"Just received a new price sheet from Entreq. It includes the Olympus Tellus. The description: 6 silver connections, 1 copper dedicated for connection for wall socket ground. Price US retail(today's conversion rate): $7,775.73."

Entreq will advice you the Silver Minimus... I asked them last year. They told me that for one or 2 devices the Minimus is enough.

I can only go on my personal experience and I found that a Tellus was significantly better than a Silver Minimus and for not much greater outlay. I could only perceive a slight improvement with a S Minimus but a much greater one with a Tellus on my D200 & at that time a Moon MiND 180. The only problem is the Tellus boxes are so darn big and take a lot of my shelf space!

No way! That's hilarious - talk about laughing all the way to the bank

Hmmm... I spent some time to re-read many of the tweaking posts. I am more impressed by Devialet. Seems like there are limited improvement you can do to a Devialet. The biggest bang for buck is from better power cable and speaker cables. Entreq and isolation platforms have limited impact. The network, however, is the weakest link, if not the computer.
