Apologies Celts88
Yes I've been big fan of Entreq over the years and have experimented a fair bit with their ground boxes and matching ground cables, as you can probably see from my earlier posts. Although to be brutally honest that enthusiasm has waned a little of late.
Believe it or not I have never got got round to testing the grounding of the negative speaker binding posts, this is largely because I didn't have the right cables (mine were all RCA to spade). Also I was pretty happy with the results gained from grounding an RCA port on each dual mono unit, using an Atlantis cable. I did try pretty much test the full range of cables and found Apollo to be the most effective. I understand the whole range has recently been updated to Infinity and I may get my hands on some of these at some point in the future. The UK distributor tells me they are a big improvement over the previous generation.
I haven't tried the new Tellus 2 although I have the Poseidon here, on which the Tellus 2 is based. I have the Everest and K2 binding post screws here too, which are bonkers quite frankly but which seem to make quite a big difference.
Entreq is very tweaky though! It can take a little while for the effects to become noticeable, but it's the kind off thing you really notice when you take it away. It can end up driving you a little crazy but for me at least it did make the Devialet sound a little less "digital" and improve some of the body and textures of the sound. It's quite subtle compared to some of the other stuff I tend to be involved in these days. Some people seem a lot more sensitive to its effects than others, presumably your dealer will let you return/exchange the items if you don't like what they do? Sounds like you have an amazing discount anyway!
By the way check my signature and you'll see that I use an Athena rack, this is by far one of my favourite Entreq products!
