Active or Passive solutions? Pick your flavor. Like the AudioQuest 7000 (active) vs Shunyata Denali 6000 (passive). We once again have an interesting active approach to grounding. Enter the Telos GNR. GNR stands for Grounding Noise Reducer.

I have recently picked up Telos due to their Grounding Noise Reducer (GNR) product as a complimentary, but perhaps more accurately, competitive product to Entreq. The Telos Grounding Noise Reducer ties all your components together creating a common ground and significantly reducing or outright eliminating ground noise/hum. The Grounding Noise Reducer is created with only one sole purpose, that is to simulate the elusive zero (0) volt grounding reference point.

There are six (6) binding posts for you to ground your equipments. Three (3) binding posts on the left and right hand sides are being “cleansed” by the two (2) Quantum Noise Resonator modules respectively.

The Telos ties all your components together in a similar fashion to the Entreq.

The Telos GNR is separated into three sections. On the left and right hand sides are what Telos calls, the Quantum Noise Resonator modules. The middle section houses the CPU which is the core technology of the GNR.

The following measurements show the variance between the Ground and Neutral terminals, the BEFORE measurement is taken between the Ground and Neutral terminals on the power outlet while the AFTER measurement is taken between the Ground from the GNR and the Neutral from the power outlet.

I also found this review: http://www.monoandstereo.com/2016/04/telos-audio-design-grounding-noise.html

The Telos GNR retails for $5000. Telos ground wires start at $200 for 2 meters.

Hi Mike,

I dont mean to rain on your parade but couple of question:

Have you tested the unit with the Shunyata Denali and Entreq in your system?
Is the Telos supported to be substitution for Entreq/Tripoint? Have you talked to anyone using the Telos in combination with Entreq/Tripoint?
Any improvement upgrade from higher class grounding cable?

The only other review i found is this one (w ww.avsforum.com/telos-gnr-active-grounding-box-at-taves-2015/). Not quite impressive as yours. So I would love to hear some idea before proceeding.
 
Yes - I have two Denali 2000T's and a Denali 6000s in my system right now with the Entreq Poseidon. I LOVE the combination and my tough SET/horn system is a great testing ground and they pass with flying colors. The Denali(s), IMO, making the biggest difference by far. Sort of a no brainer really for any system.

The Telos is an alternative to the Entreq. Some people prefer an active solution to grounding. The Telos offers that. Others prefer a passive approach. The Entreq offers that.

I'm using the silver Entreq grounding cables.
