AC Wraps
Exceptionally effective accessories

  • Lowers the noisefloor of your set
  • Standard cables will achieve results comparable to good power cords
  • Good power cords are upgraded substantially
  • Set contains Metal & Sand Wrap
  • Applicable within 1 minute by the use of Velcro
  • Dimensions 16 X 19 cm
  • Weight 600 grams
  • Available in black and white
An electromagnetic field is present around any mains cable that has a current flowing through it. This will have negative consequences for your audio and video-reproduction. These negative consequences can be reduced by the use of a set of Wraps, consisting of a Metal and a Sand Wrap. This will result in more calmness, stability, depth and dynamics. Whether you use standard cables or the most precious power cords, there'll be a huge effect. It is beyond question one of the best tweaks for any audio/video set.
 
  ...... The Wraps come in pairs, the Metal wrap should be wrapped around the mains plug and the Sand Wrap should be wrapped around the middle of the power cord. The Metal Wrap contains numerous metals and a special sand. The Sand Wrap on the contrary is filled with a very special sand only. The effect of the Wraps is best noticed at the first power cord in the chain, but don't underestimate how much gain can be achieved by using Wraps around all your power cords. In the field of DIY sometimes copper sleeves are placed around mains plugs, this only has a minor effect compared the Metal Wraps. The effect of them can be checked easily by using a voltage-stick.


A response from a client, J. van Polen from Leiden (NL):

“In my main stereo system I have installed five Metal Wraps and five Sand Wraps. Only one Metal Wrap around the plug of the power cord feeding the complete system already resulted in an audible improvement! Adding Metal Wraps to the plugs of the main components, the improvement grew incremently. Dynamics clearly improved and musical instruments were placed more precisely in a somewhat bigger soundstage. Furthermore, the noise floor dropped and more detail could be heard. Listening to the award winning SACD “La Stravaganza” (Vivaldi / Rachel Podger), I noticed that the soloist just kept on playing all the time, where before she was drowned out by the orchestra occasionally. So more musical information was presented, but not at the cost of listening fatigue. Quite on the contrary, with the Metal Wrap in place, my SACD player combined more authority and control in the low frequencies with a generally more relaxed sound. Adding Sand Wraps around the middle of the power cords proved to be less effective than the placing of Metal Wraps around the plug. The Sand Wraps did a better job when placed on top of a component. Two Sand Wraps lying on my DAC resulted in a more refined reproduction of timbre of musical instruments, while just one Sand Wrap on top of my rather chunky preamplifier made the low end appear somewhat more precise. The Wraps are no doubt a welcome addition to the catalogue of high end audio accessories and should be tried by any serious music lover who wants to get the best out of his expensive power cords”
 

Mini Wraps
Special for signal cables


  • Lowers the noisefloor of your set
  • Upgrades any analog or digital interlinks
  • Set contains Metal & Sand Wrap
  • Applicable within 1 minute by the use of Velcro
  • Dimensions 10 X 9 cm
  • Weight 120 grams   
  • Available in black and white
  

...... After the overwhelming success of our AC Wraps, introducing a smaller version was almost inevitable. These new Mini Wraps are specially designed for use with analog and digital interlinks and headphones cables. Like the AC Wraps, the Mini Wraps come in pairs, consisting of a Metal Wrap and a Sand Wrap.

Best results are achieved using a complete set for each channel. However, the effect of one set used for both channels can’t be missed either.

According to first impressions from members of our listening panel, the Mini Wraps more of less mimic the AC Wraps in their effects: better dynamics, more precision especially in the low end and a better retrieval of detail. Completely equipped with Mini Wraps, every high quality audio system will make a big step forward.



A response from a client who prefers to be anonymous:

"I am a proud owner of components of the premium series from Marantz. The CD player connects to the amplifier by a NordOst Blue Heaven interlink. The connectors of this interlink at the side of the CD player are equipped with Mini Wraps (unfortunately, at the amplifier side there is no space available for Wraps). Listening to Joni Mitchell’s masterpiece “Hejira”, I noticed an increase in “ambient information”: the particular atmosphere of each track was conveyed more convincingly. I presume this to be a result of the lowered noise floor. Also, the music seems to sound somewhat more relaxed and more potent in the lower frequencies. That the Wraps are effective on the side of the CD player, can be understood easily. CD players tend to emit electromagnetic radiation from all their openings and shielding the connectors means this radiation will not (at least less) go into the interlink. Simple and effectieve, I would say!"
 


Vibb Eaters
Effective absorption of vibrations


  • Easy to add to your system
  • Suitable for both loudspeakers as HiFi components
  • Available in 1, 2, 3, 4 & 6.5 kg
  • To be combined in any weight
  • Luxury finish in leather
  • Available in numerous colours upon request
  • Also available without rats' snout
  

Vibb Eaters are sacks of leather, filled with a special sand and grains of copper that should be placed upon loudspeakers. Ideally, the cones of your loudspeaker-drivers convert the music-signal into sound, and the walls of your loudspeaker-cabinets don't move. In real life, even with the most precious loudspeakers you can always feel the cabinets vibrate, this will affect reproduction. Adding a relatively heavy Vibb Eater will stabilize the cabinet and make it longer effectively. Vibrations of the cabinet will go on into the Vibb Eater, here they will be absorbed and transformed into a tiny amount of heat. This results in a sturdier low-end, more details in the higher frequencies and a more vivid sound with a better timing particularly.

Entreq Entreq Vibb Eater also contain a small amount of precious metals, which contributes to the shielding and absorption of electromagnetic pollution. This makes the Vibb Eaters highly effective in combination with HiFi components. Experimenting with the exact spot to place them should be done by ear, under most circumstances you'll end up somewhere around the mains cable entry or the mains transformer. The original Vibb Eater is finished in a rats' snout design but for those who think this appearance isn't to their taste, there's the neutrally finished cone version also, simply named Con. Five sizes are available, the Ultra, Mini, Midi, Maxi and Jumbo with a weight of 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6.5 kg a piece respectively.
Logically, heavier loudspeakers will require a heavier Vibb Eater, choice is best made by experimenting. Default colour is black, but for an additional price other colours are available. Even custom designs are considered possible.


A respons from a client, J. van Polen from Leiden (NL):

“The loudspeakers of my main stereo system, CS2.3 from Thiel Audio, are widely recognized for their precise and uncolored sound. Amongst other things, this is achieved by the rather complex and elaborate construction of the cabinet. To think that a set of Vibb Eaters Maxi placed on top of the Thiels would result in a significant improvement of sound, would be very optimistic indeed. However, to my surprise, it really worked! The sound gained precision and purity over all musical frequencies! With the Vibb Eaters in place, music sounds more lively and effortless. One gets the impression the cabinets do not have to bear a load, but rather are freed of one. Pace and rythm improves and the last tiny amount of overhang disappears completely. More detail is retrieved, particularly in the high frequencies. For instance, listening to the Brandenburg Concerto no. 5 by J.S. Bach, sublte ornaments in the clavicord solo emerge that I had never heard before. Vocal music becomes more intelligible also. These rats may appear somewhat silly at first sight, but they may well constitute the most effective audio accessory I have come accross in several years. I think they are rather funny too and their luxurious appearance goes along well with my leather furniture. On the basis of neat finishing and clearly positive audible effects, I think the pricing is on the modest side. In short, Ratty the Vibb Eater is my new hero!”


Cat & Lion Feet
Energy Transforming Feet
 
  • Easy to use
  • Suitable for loudspeakers as well as HiFi equipment
  • Will absorb vibrations from the inside as well as from the outside, also EMI/RFI suppressing
  • Luxury finish in leather
  • Size 8.5 X 6 en 10 X 7 cm
  • Weight 250 en 500 grams
  • Available in black and white
  

Entreq stands for ENergy TRansforming EQuipment and thus, special feet voor HiFi equipment and loudspeakers are a must. These feet, just like the Vibb Eaters, contain a special black sand and copper grain mixture that has been composed empirically. This mixture not only eliminates mechanical vibrations, it will also eliminate EMI/RFI fields.

The vibrations originating from the foundation go through a sand-filled tunnel construction, where they are dispersed to the outer of the feet and will be transformed into heat. Vibrations from the air and from your equipment also will be dispersed to the outer of the feet, so these cannot interfere with vibrations coming from the foundation.


   . CatFeet
These have been designed for heavier objects like power amplifiers and loudspeakers. They will also work great under heavy mains filters like our  POWER SOURCE and BALANCED ISOLATOR SOURCE.


LionFeet
These are wider (and less high) versions of the CatFeet and designed to be used with lighter front end equipment like cd/dvd players, DA converters, peramps etc. Key in this concept is the fact front end equipment is much more sensitive to vibrations from the inside as well as the outside, so they need a larger contact area with the feet.

   . FoxFeet
These are identical to the Cat/LionFeet and feature a thread as an extra so you can screw them onto your equipment or loudspeakers. This adds the benefit of a better coupling, so your equipment will be rock solid, and the feet cannot wander.
Our advise is to use three feet for every piece of equipment or loudspeaker to overcome the effects of an uneven foundation. You can find out the best spots for placement of the feet by just listening. Make sure, none of the three distances between the feet is equal, in order to prevent resonances.

Audible effects are a clean and powerful sound combined with a very natural timbre. This effect is especially large, much better than all of the many feet we tested previously.



USB, & Fire Wire & I2s cables
Serious streaming audio
  • Wooden connector housing
  • Cotton cable sleeving
  • Type A and B USB connectors available
  • Dedicated ground wire for optimum noise suppression
  • Unique cable design
  • Best upgrade for High End streaming audio
  • Length 1 m, other lengths upon request
  
Now you can experience pure High End quality when you play your favorite music from your computer. The Discover and Konstantin USB cables with the patent pending EEDS (External Earth Drain System) will give you a substantial improvement compared to a standard USB cable. It doesn`t matter if you use a very advanced DAC with an upsampler, or just a simple USB DAC. The improvement will always surprise you!

USB cable
The secret is that the Entreq USB cables reduce the amount of digital bit errors, thus enabling the DAC to sound better. There are many discussions whether the USB cable has any influence on the result or not. We can only encourage you to try it... we are that convinced of these cables, we offer you a 14 day money back guarantee.
Fire Wire cable
In addition to the USB cables, we also offer Fire Wire cables. Many expensive High End systems use Fire Wire between the transport and DAC, but until now there have only been standard cables available for this important connection. With Discover or Konstantin Fire Wire you will get a rock solid connection that will get the most from your system. We believe that this is the most important upgrade for your streaming music system, as it works in any system.
I2s cable
For the finest system for data transmission there are only very few manufacturers worldwide that can offer High-End I2S cables. Total surprise will be yours when using this cable in your system for the first time. Without any doubt we can confidently say, this is worlds best I2s cable.		  
 

Signal cables
  • Shot gun principle
  • Solder free contact joints
  • Wooden cinch connector housing
  • Furutech XLR plugs
  • Cotton cable sleeving
  • Dedicated ground wire for optimum noise suppression
  • Unique cable design
  • Length 1.1 m, other lenghts upon request
  


Years of development, progressive and innovative thinking have resulted in these signal cables that distinguish themselves clearly from other, more conventional cables. All Entreq cables share these common properties:

  • Solder free contact points 
  • EEDS (External Earth Drain System) to lead away interruption from the signal path without leading it into the electronic equipment. 
  • Shot gun principle to minimise the impact of the magnetic fields on the signal transmission. 
  • Naturally coloured cotton wrapping. Synthetic materials and colour pigments are conductive (static electricity) and have a negative impact on the signal transmission.   
  • Asymmetrical construction to minimise magnetic interference.  
  • Length of cables adjusted to reduce antenna impact. Each cable behaves like an antenna: it sends and receives. Some lengths are more sensitive than others.

 
 ... Pathfinder
Delivers a good synergy with the Pathfinder speaker cable. A very musical and pleasant cable suitable for basic equipment. Very price worthy.

Discover 20.10
An incredibly price worthy cable that is even better now. With the new contact technology we lent from Challenger 20.10 it delivers an unrestrained and transparent sound. Firm bass, lean treble and a very good middle step. Together with the other Discover cables they will take you deep in to the High End land.		 ....

.... Konstantin 20.10
For the owner of first class musical equipment. Has all the merits of the Discover cable but even higher resolution and detail richness without turning cold. 75% more silver gives incredibly good midrange. Amazingly good sound picture. A very musical cable that together with other Konstantin cables takes you closer to the music than ever before.


Challanger 20.10
The contender to the best of the best. So near Challenger 20.10 you can come without owning a pair yourself. For the owner of truly good music equipment. Challenger does not hide or forgive anything. If the rest of your equipment lives up to the standards you will get an end result that only few people attain with perfect placements in altitude, depth and width. Everything is brought forward and presented in a terrifyingly realistic way. It is done in a pleasant light and space, no tile and fluorescent lamps. The Challenger cables do cost a bit extra but if the rest of your equipment is up to scratch they are well worth it.		 ....

.... XLR 20.10
For equipment with balanced XLR in- and outputs, Entreq offers a comprehensive range of XLR cables. In addition to the XLR 20.10 we offer the range from Discover to Challenger. Available with either Furutech Rhodium Contact or Neutrik gold plated XLR connectors. These are the best ones available on the market at the moment. This range of cables is intended for the customer who is directed to XLR and wants to benefit from the Crossword concept.
Tiny Path 20.10
We do not feel that the great sound quality of the HRT Music Streamer PRO benefits from the use of adapters. Instead we have developed Tiny Path with TiniQ (mini XLR) and XLR connectors to let you enjoy the full potential of the HRT Music Streamer PRO. It´s a real improvement compared to the use of adapters.
Like our other cables it has EEDS for that dark and quiet background that has become our trademark.		  ...

 
Speaker cable
  • Shot gun principle
  • Solder free contact points
  • Wooden connector housings
  • WBT Spades as an option
  • Cotton cable sleeving
  • Dedicated ground wire for optimum noise suppression
  • Unique cable design
  • Lenght 2.2 m, other lengths upon request
 

Just like with the rest of the assortment the production of the speaker cables is characterised by innovative thinking. Also, as opposed to all other cables the only place where we shield our cables is where it is actually motivated, at the start and the end of the cable where the magnetic fields are strongest. Other cables might be insulated in the middle so that they are as wide as a man’s forarm but where they are connected they are always without protection. All speaker cables have in common that they are very well placed altitude wise. You don’t have to experience the phenomenon that the singer is laying on the floor and the guitarist is holding his instrument above his head.
 
 
   ... Pathfinder
An entry level cable that is very convincing from the moment you use it. A very musical and pleasant cable suitable for basic equipment. A warmer and more forgiving cable than Discover. Despite this, there is no pronounced accent on either low, mid or high. It has an excellent price/performance ratio.
Discover 20.10
A very price worthy cable which you without doubt can compare with our competitors’ cables that often cost 4 or 5 times as much. With the influence from project Challenger 20.10 it´s now even better and together with other Discover cables you are taken far into High End land. Good location and a clear middle register where the vocalist takes a step forward and allows you to truly take part of the performance.		  ...  
   ... Konstantin 20.10
Very pleasant firm bass, wonderful middle register with lovely body and a treble that is airy and clean. With the new technology from our Challenger 20.10 project you get even more details and blackness. Compared to Challenger, 75% more silver is used. Highly appropriate placements in altitude, depth and width. A high performing cable. The synergy when used together with other Konstantin cables is very good. Must be experienced!

Challenger 20.10
With this bi-wiring / bi-amp cable you come closer to the music than ever before. Imagine the feeling you have the experience the speakers disappear from the room; you have a wide, high and deep sound picture. You are seated in the middle of the audience at a live concert and people are applauding around you. The music starts and the musicians are perfectly placed in both altitude and deepness and the voices are terrifyingly realistic. If you experience this it probably means you are using Challenger cables with good music equipment. An outstanding cable that fulfills all of your wishes.		 ...  



..... Jumpers
One of the most underestimated and forgotten parts in the signal chain is the connection between the terminals on a speaker with Bi amp possibilities where they are driven by a single wire. Usually a tin-plated brass strip is positioned in order to create a contact between the poles. This tin-plating impacts on the sound. A good ‘Jumper’ is of utmost importance so that the speaker cable can perform optimally. With our ‘Jumpers’ you get a part of the Entreq sound no matter what cable brand you are using. Best performance however is achieved when using the total Entreq "system" because only then, you will benefit from the synergy of all different components.



Power cables

The power cables are based on the same experiences and techniques that we have developed for the signal- and speaker cables. We had, however, for reasons of electrical safety, to stop using our DIC system (Dedicated Integrated Contacts, to ensure a straight line and reduce whirl currents) and are now using contact equipment from the market. Yet we have created a series of power cables that undoubtedly mean that a new milestone has been set. These cables are completely different from cables you heard before.

 
...
Pathfinder
A cable with shotgun technology. Constructed for the person who uses isolation transformers and for the person who wants a first class cable for a reasonable price. Always right for Pre-amp, CD etc.
 
Discover
This cable, using shot gun technology, will give you a very quiet background, paired to an airy, high quality image. It's very difficult to find a better cable in this respect. Despite the excellent properties of this cable, the price is fully in harmony with your wallet to say the least.
 		 ...

... Konstantin
As usual Konstantin has all the merits of the Discover cable but is quieter, smoother and lets you experience even more details. A very detailed, calm and organic sound picture that convinces even the most sceptical person that power cables really do have an impact.

Challenger
A cable that, according to our test pilots, finds its equals in price classes much higher than its own, if it can be found at all. A truly unique cable despite its modest appearance.		 ...
 ... Challenger 3V
One of the best Power cables ever. Once you tried it there is no way back.


Hifi benches
 
  • Swedish Design
  • Hybrid from POM and Swedish hardwood
  • Very stable by design
  • No magnetic influences
  • Each shelf damped by FoxFeet
  • Available in several compositions
  • Custom made design upon request
    


The audio rack is actually one of the most important components of the chain and has more impact than most people are aware of. In case the rack isn't right from the start, you'll try to compensate for that later, which easily leads to even worse results. In the first place, an audio rack should be rock solid and absorb vibrations. This means materials like glass, stone, metals and MDF are wrong, because they reflect vibrations. In the second place, all materials the rack consists of, should have a minimal influence on magnetic fields and the equipment. This means all metals should be avoided.

Entreq racks from the Fox series consist of legs made from POM (Delrin) and hardwood shelves. In addition to the fact, hardwood itself already neutralises vibrations, each shelf can be complemented with  FoxFeet, which will transform nearly all vibrations into heat. This creates the best environment in order to have your equipment sound the way it was originally intended by the designer.

Design:
    1. Glued shelf made from hardwood.
Energy absorbing, stable and non-magnetic.
2. Legs made of massive POM (Delrin) together with Foxfeet.
Gives a stable design and stops vibrations from wandering.
3. Gradual design
for a perfect overview and good ventilation.
4. Totally free from metal that would impact on magnetic fields.
Does not strengthen or alter the magnetic fields in any way.
5. Large, fully usable space.
Possible to use all surface without compromising ventilation.
6. Separated from the floor with Foxfeet.
Vibrations from the floor do not wander up through the bench.


Speaker tripods
  • Swedish Design
  • Get the most from your precious loudspeakers
  • Hybride of POM and Swedish hardwood
  • Very stable by design
  • Speaker is isolated and damped by 3 FoxFeet
  • Available in all heights
  

Our tripods give your speaker the best possible conditions to perform at its best. The difference to an ordinary tripod is astonishing. Since they are designed similarly to the Fox bench they are stable and practically impossible to overturn. Together with the Fox bench they provide a nice overall solution. The three Fox feet connected to the POM legs ensure that the speaker is free from vibrations and is placed steady as a rock. This gives your speakers optimal conditions to perform better than ever.

Reviews:
6Moons.com, September 2009; "Entreq, complete cable loom", by Srajan Ebaen
the Stereo Times, August 2009; "The Entreq Konstantin 09 Cables, delivering Music Naturally", by Dave Thomas

"Per-Olof Friberg is to be commended for producing such marvelously executed products and using natural materials in the process. There are many wonderful cable products in the marketplace these days, many of which have graced my system. As I mentioned earlier, if the Entreq cables were going to supplant my current reference and make an impact in the crowded audiophile cable market, they would have to be very special products. Special is exactly what the Entreq Konstantin cables are. Highly recommended and a sure-fire bet for this publication’s highest honor, the “Most Wanted Component” Award."

6Moons.com, May 2009; "Entreq Crossword Discover USB", by Srajan Ebaen

"In closing, once this market shakes out to establish how much money must be spent to get the lion's share from the USB cable interface, we'll know better where Entreq has positioned itself. For today, by what it so clearly did, their cable has already opened my ears as to how much room there is in this hifi juncture to optimize and improve over just any ol' computer wire with measured continuity and the right kinds of plugs. Those are not the ne plus ultra!"
