Max S Binding Post Upgrade

Introducing Max S, a new evolution in Entreq's approach to shaping and improving the sound reproduction in your system. Where Max T delivers a bold leap towards Tungsten Inside performance, Max S is its more nuanced counterpart, designed to refine, balance and reveal the natural character of your system.

Product Description

The influence of materials on sound is undeniable and something Entreq has been exploring for over twenty years. The standard wooden caps are neutral by design, adding nothing and taking nothing away. With Max S, Entreq continue this philosophy but introduce silver into the binding post. The effect is a subtle reshaping of the performance of the entire ground box or component to which it is applied.

This refinement gives you, the listener, the ability to fine-tune your system. For those already enjoying a Tungsten Inside ground box, Max S provides a simple and elegant way to enhance performance without tipping the balance too far. For non-Tungsten Inside models, it offers a gentler alternative to Max T, bringing openness, natural flow and greater tonal coherence without the intensity of a full Tungsten-level shift.

Max S or Max T – which should I use?

Hi-fi systems are complex beasts with myriad variables. Every system is different, from the power output of the amplifier to the sources being used. Every system is as unique as the preferences of every listener. That is to say, what works fantastically in one system may fall flat on another. Max T and Max S each bring unique characteristics into the mix. Deciding what works best for your system and your listening preferences is matter for exploration.

Max S is not more or less than Max T. It is simply different. The only way to discover what works best is through listening and trialling. Some systems will thrive with the energy and drive of Max T. Others will sing with the refinement and subtlety of Max S.

Beyond the ground box

With the arrival of the new Tuss Kit, Max S and Max T are no longer limited to ground boxes alone. Much as the MaxMix T2 Kit does for loudspeakers, by connecting Max S or Max T directly to electronics such as a DAC or preamplifier, they bring similar transformative qualities to the very heart of your system. This opens the door for even greater possibilities in tailoring your system’s performance.

Max S is an invitation to experiment, to fine-tune, and to hear your music with a new sense of clarity and natural balance.

Optional Tuss Kit Upgrade.

The Entreq Tuss Kit extends the versatility of Entreq Max S and Max T, allowing them to connect directly to electronics such as pre-amplifiers, DACs, phono stages, and other components with an unused RCA input. In doing so, the kit brings the performance-enhancing qualities of Entreq Max S and Max T into the very heart of the system

Design and construction

Each kit comprises two beautifully finished adapters:

• Copper-based adapter (Tuss Cu)
• Silver-based adapter (Tuss Si)

Both feature Entreq’s signature, laser-engraved, waxed oak barrel. One end of the adapter is threaded to screw securely into either a Max S or Max T. The opposite end terminates with a male RCA connection, enabling direct attachment to a spare input

System integration

When used in this way the Entreq Max S and Max T perform a function similar to the Entreq MaxMix T2 Kit on loudspeaker terminals reducing the disruptive influence of EMI and RFI on the signal path. By subtly reshaping the local electromagnetic environment, they allow components to operate in a calmer, more stable state. The result is greater tonal coherence, improved flow, and a more organic presentation of musical detail.

By connecting directly to electronics, the Entreq Tuss Kit enables Max S and Max T to move beyond their traditional role with ground boxes, bringing their refinements directly into the circuitry of a DAC, pre-amplifier, or other source component. This opens new possibilities for tailoring performance at the very core of the system.

The Entreq Tuss Kit provides a simple, elegant solution for integrating Max S and Max T more deeply into a system—offering even greater flexibility in fine-tuning performance.
