Entreq Silver Tellus grounding/earthing system
Goldeneraguy, a US dealer should be able to provide at the v.least a demo service/sale-or-return. I do know that Fraser set up similar sale-or-return for a client outside the UK, he's a 5 Star guy in this regard.I'm confident you'll "get" the effe...

Dentdog, welcome to the party! Not many people here, but Vic prefers it this way, each tt is in effect a bespoke order, and he couldn't keep up w/demand if it spiralled.I'm using his tt/arm with a Soundsmith Straingauge cart, and the combination i... 
Entreq Silver Tellus grounding/earthing system
Goldeneraguy, re analog, this was the only area not initially impvd by earthing. My Tom Evans Groove Plus SRX phono stage/Zu Denon 103R/Transfiguration Orpheus was muddied by use of Entreq, but grounding it's replacement, the Soundsmith Straingaug...

Phil, thanx for the feedback. I've actually had a fairly positive experience with a Stevens & Billington-based TVC passive recently, so I'm going to investigate this area a little further, my choice likely to be between the Townshend Audio All...

Dentdog, has Vic been able to help you w/your SQ issues?

Dentdog, that's frustrating news. Don't fret, there must be a solution. Have you emailed Vic?

Tms, I'm finding an uncanny synergy btwn the Salvation w/new magnetic bearing, Terminator w/most recent Tomahawk wand mod, and Soundsmith Straingauge cart, reconciling what can be disparate sound qualities not often found together in components. A...

I'm back in the room, boys! Well, for Salvation/Terminator to even be mentioned in the same breath as the L07D, it must be doing SOMETHING right.As you all know, I'm no tech head, just just trying to interpret what Vic has said to me face to face,...

Harold, you're not wrong. A total no brainer. The SQ well surpasses the cost. Dentdog, was your purchase an end result of this thread, or would you have gone ahead anyhow?

Hey Dentdog. Let me congratulate you, and I really do hope you enjoy it. I think you're in for an interesting experience. I believe you also own Zu Def 4 spkrs like me? You're OBVIOUSLY a man of excellent taste!

Hiho, I've taken some time out as you asked to precisely describe what I believe makes the Salvation/Terminator so special. But so far, no response. I'm still waiting...

Hiho, I'll do my best. Linear tracking I'm sure we all agree is the theoretical best tech for tonearms mimicking the way the grooves are cut. But it's often too much of a tech challenge to bring about successfully. Well, I can say Vic has managed ...
