Entreq grounding boxes

[GuillaumeB]

Dear all,

As per Guillaume's suggestion, my Challenger Ethernet ground cable arrived today.

On one end it is a RJ45 Ethernet cable, on the other end a reddish (copper) ground spade.

My leisure setup is an Apple Airport Extreme wireless router, connected to the Devialet with Audioquest Vodka, and my Mac Book Pro sending audio via Audirvana wirelessly (this way I avoid all the dropouts of the wireless AIR.)

The sound was good to start with. But things changed for much better when I plugged the Challenger to one of Airport's empty RJ45 sockets.

The change is not subtle, mind you.
More clarity, more extension, more 3D, more PRAT.

If you have an Entreq device, you owe it to yourself to give a listen. If you don't, all the better since I can say the improved I got with this is almost as large or larger than adding the Entreq to my system grounding in the first place, so try Entreq.

I currently use a Silver Minimus for this duty.

Happy listening,

Kunter

Good stuff! I have two Challenger RJ45 ground cables: one connected to my QNAP NAS and the other connected to my Draytek router. Both ground cables feed into a Silver Minimus box.

As Kunter says the improvement is not subtle. I would say that the biggest thing it does in my system is add tonal detail and texture... there is also a certain syrupiness to the sound too.

So much for just ones and zeros (TCP/IP and all that!)... something else is going on here but I'm at a loss to explain it. Sounds bloody fantastic though!
