Entreq:
Entreq Accessories

Entreq manufacture a extensive number of products, some of which can only be used with existing Entreq products, like the Max-T Ground Post which offers a great upgrade to the performance of your ground box.

Other products like the Max Mix T2 Kit, Vibbeaters and the Magma devices can be used as standalone products. If you wanted to get started with Entreq but at a relatively modest level these products are a genuinely great starting point!

Max T Ground Post

Up until recently Entreq had the choice of 4 different ground posts, there was the K2, Everest, Peak 4 and the newest offering the Max-T. They all did something different to the presentation, the K2 and Everest were the original posts, the Peak 4 followed on with the Max-T arriving in the Autumn of 2023.

Since the Peak 4 launched in 2021 it had been the most successful of the 3 ground posts but since then Entreq have released their Tungsten based ground box range and with that has been some profound performance benefits – Max T takes the Peak 4 and incorporates a small slice of what Entreq did with the Tungsten boxes.

Essentially the Max T is all about articulation, texture and really accurate tone, it’s quite a step up over other 3 posts, as such Entreq made the decision in the Autumn of 2024 to discontinue K2, Everest and Peak 4 so the Max-T is the only post upgrade now available.

Where to put a Max-T

The Max-T can be used on any ground box to upgrade it’s performance, it makes for a really compelling upgrade, especially when used on an Silver Minimus, Olympus Ten or a Poseidon.

The Macro Kit is £400 and it is been a popular product since it’s launch, many Macro owners would possibly consider a Max-T post overkill as it costs the same as the kit itself, but fitting a Max-T to a Macro Kit elevates its performance to a totally new place, itt serves as a really powerful upgrade to a Macro Kit or a Macro Twin Kit.

Entreq MaxMix T2 Kit

The MaxMix T2 Kit was launched in the Autumn of 2024, this kit can be used a standalone item, it requires no other Entreq to work. This kit is design to connect to the terminals on your loudspeakers and effectively reduce the magnetic field effect and high frequency noise that arrives at the loudspeakers from the amplifier. It removes noise, improves clarity and detail.

There is more information on the MaxMix T2 Kit on the link below.

Vibbeaters

These quirky looking little mice are a bit of an eyebrow raiser, but they work really well.

You place a pair of them on top of a pair of loudspeakers (or top of a component) and they pull away unwanted energy, absorb cabinet vibrations and stray magnetic fields. The Vibbeaters contain within them a mixture of copper, sand and very small quantities of precious metals. In context of energy too much of it is a bad thing and by removing this we allow a system to breath more easily. This is especially true with speakers, as the cabinet/front baffle of a speaker can be particularly bad at managing excess energy. The unwanted energy is converted into low level heat, after all you can’t get rid of it unwanted energy, you can only convert it to something else.

Put a pair of these on top of a pair of speakers and simply listen to some music you know well and it won’t take to hear bass lines are tighter, the sound has more control with improved textures and pacing. They sound a bit unusual when reading, but I’ve never done a demonstration which hasn’t been effective.

The Vibbeaters start at £100 each and are really effective, especially on speakers. The first 3 Vibbeaters (as pictured above all use the same mineral mix), the largest Vibbeater the Apollo XX uses a completely different mineral mix and they weigh 7.5Kg each and have been designed to sit on much larger speakers/components.

Magma Tungsten, Magma Slim Tungsten and Magma Slim

Entreq’s 3 Magma devices are a relatively recent arrival to their product line up, they are designed to work primarily under your equipment to isolate them from the surface they sit upon, by absorbing mechanical energy they improve performance, but that is not the only role the Magma devices play.

Magma Tungsten and Magma Slim Tungsten contain within 6 different metals/materials – Silver, Stainless steel, Tungsten, Copper, Magnesium, Zinc, Steel & Ceramics

This combination of materials are used in very strict ratios and together they create a magnetic field which serves to attract unwanted noise and pollutants away from the component you use them under. There is nothing stopping you using one of top of a component either, located directly above mains transformer for example.

The Magma Tungsten are 45mm high and double stacked, each one can support 60kg and they are £380 each, the Magma Slim Tungsten are 25mm, they use the same material (just less of it), each Magma Slim Tungsten can support 80Kg each, these are £240 each.

The entry level Magma Slim are 22mm high and support up to 40kg each, these use less metals than the other 2 models and are priced at £60 each.

Each of the feet are effective at their respective price points and offer a really viable alternative to other isolating devices as they do something quite different to anything else.
