Entreq Max Pa Palladium Ground Post Upgrade (Corepoint or Ground Box)

Entreq Max Pa Palladium Ground Post Upgrade (Corepoint or Ground Box)

Max Pa Palladium

Max Pa brings Palladium, a precious metal closely related to Platinum but with its own distinct character, into the upper tier of the Entreq Max range. Designed for use with the Corepoint unit(s) supplied with every ERS cable and equally with Entreq ground boxes, Max Pa builds on the Tungsten foundation shared across the range to deliver a distinctive contribution to the performance of any host product.

Precious but different

Palladium and Platinum are closely related materials, but their contributions to audio applications are not the same. Where Platinum brings the refinement and clarity that characterises Max Pl, Max Pa Palladium has its own voice. It brings a sense of body and substance to the music, a quality of warmth and presence that some listeners find immediately preferable. Max Pa pairs Palladium with the Tungsten base that runs through the Max range, producing a post that sits alongside Max Pl in the upper tier of the family.

A step up in the Max range

Max Pa Palladium is part of the upper tier of the Max range, sitting alongside Max Pl as one of the two precious-metal posts that mark a significant further gain in performance. Where Max T, Max S and Max Ti each lift the performance of the system audibly, Max Pa brings a step change in the way the music inhabits your room, making it a clear and considered investment for systems ready to take advantage of what it offers.

Characteristics

Entreq consider each Max post a step up on the one before, and with the Max Pa Palladium the character shifts towards neutrality. It is  tonally even handed, but brings more air, more 3D, a better sound stage and greater low level detail retrieval than the already capable Max T post. Less about shaping the balance, more about revealing what’s already there. 

The Max post architecture

Like every Entreq Max post, Max Pa Palladium contains a specific configuration of materials housed in a wooden body, designed to influence the electromagnetic behaviour at the reference point of a Corepoint unit or a ground box it is attached to. The wooden body is chosen for its electromagnetic neutrality, allowing the active materials inside the post to do their work without interference from the housing.

Fitting Max Pa

Max Pa Palladium takes the place of the standard wooden cap on the Corepoint or ground box, attaching to the same threaded post and holding the ERS wire or grounding cable in position. No other change to the system is required, and Max Pa Palladium can be swapped for any other Max post at any time. 

The architecture is open ended by design.

Hand built in Sweden

Max Pa Palladium is hand built at the Entreq facility in Sweden, using a wooden body and a specific configuration of materials including Tungsten and Palladium. Given the rarity of Palladium Entreq have be careful as to how the composition has been developed and refined through extensive testing to make the most of every contribution it brings in a responsible manner.

Compatible with Corepoint Boxes, Ground Boxes and Tuss Kit

Max Pa Palladium was developed alongside the Corepoint architecture supplied with Entreq's ERS cables, and is equally suitable for use with their ground boxes and Tuss Kit. In all applications, Max Pa simply screws onto the threaded post of the host product.
