SOLD - mint condition Entreq Tellus. This did wonders for my system by absorbing noise and also completely eliminating phono hum that had plagued me. This is the only device that has done this. And just like the website states, I noticed a lower noise floor, better flow to music and an improvement in dynamics. Also better bass! Selling this because I have upgraded to the "Silver Tellus".
Note: You will need to get their cables to connect your components (up to six) to the Tellus. "Tweek Geek" does offer a trial period for the cables (not sure about Kosmic), so that you may find the ones that best fit your budget and sonics. Also, it does take at least several days to start to hear the benefits, as the noise is slowly drained from your system. While phono hum was attenuated to a large degree initially, it took over a month for it to be completely eliminated. The effects accumulate over time.

For us 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!
We normally say 220V 50Hz alternative110 V 60Hz. But in our 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 stray voltages often generate very large magnetic fields that absolutely have influence on the sound reproduction."
