Dear Friends,
Telos Grouding Noise Reducer has finally arrived. This product was being introduced by Jeff, himself in June. The respond was overwhelming and being pre-order by cusomters.
Some introduction:
In an audio setup, the effectiveness of the grounding facility has an immediate impact on the background noise. This translates to poor sound quality and greatly worsens the listening experience.
It is almost impossible to get satisfactory grounding facility, let alone one that meets the requirements for audio use. Most of the time, they only adhere to the minimum safety requirements. The common ones have the Neutral wire and the Ground wire connected together, or there is no Ground on the receptacles, leaving the Ground wire unconnected. This allows noise from the home appliances to pollute the Neutral wire, hence, causing interference. Electrical appliances like inverter air conditioner and those with switching power supplies, like computer, generate the highest level of interference.
When the electrical reference point is polluted with noise, it could get into the signal path and you could hear it as noise. The noise could potentially enter the digital circuit and cause bit error.
Thus, TELOS brings new meaning to grounding implementation. And this has been proven to be the most elegant way for any audio setup.
TELOS technical team analyzes audio equipment from a unique perspective. Every audio equipment uses power transformer in order to operate at the correct internal voltage. Hence, each equipment is said to have the primary side and secondary side. The primary side is from the power receptacle, all the way to the input of the transformer. The secondary side is from the output of the transformer to the circuit board. The audio circuitry remains within the secondary side.
We proposes the use of CPU in the GNR to calculate and generate high precision Ground reference voltage. Grounding is achieved by connecting the audio equipment to the binding posts of TELOS GNR that carry the Ground reference voltage. By doing so, GNR is able to truly correct the Ground reference point for the equipment chassis, audio circuitry and the Ground connection.
Using the same analogy as a high precision digital clock, GNR generates low distortion Ground reference voltage, giving each equipment a consistent reference point. When the audio setup is operating on a singular Ground potential, the signal transmission becomes least impeded, avoiding any transmission loss due to polarity mismatch and bit error. Therefore, truly achieving the best transmission possible.
TELOS GNR Active Grounding Box comes with Ground cables of the same materials. Thus each equipment is having the same grounding impedance characteristics, this greatly reduces the likelihood of coloration.
By having an isolated Ground for your audio setup, the effect is as good as having a dedicated power line. Through the GNR generated Ground potential serving only your audio setup, noise will be totally isolated.
We strongly urge you to come for a demo, let us show you how to further elevate your musical enjoyment.

This process able to bring out the true potential of any brands cables on the market whether is old or new in box. This machine can run-in for RCA and XLR interconnects, BNC cables, USB cables, Speakers Cables and Power cords.
Abstract some write out from Telos Audio website :-
The core of the machine consists of a crystal oscillator feeding a 70-watt amplifier module, the module drives a load before entering the in-house developed control system. From the logic of the control system, current required for each cable will be adjusted on the fly. We feel strongly that our customers should not endure the difficult time of running in the cables, they should be able to start enjoying music the moment they get our cables. Hence, we have always been talking to our engineers in hope of making a new model that could match the bandwidth of SACD frequency extensions. Let us try to explain our technology in a more illustrious manner. The process is analogous to loading software for computer. By running in the cables using different frequencies, we are able to maximize the frequency response, improve the performance and minimize the shortcomings of the cables.
In the latest design , with materials of even higher quality, we were able to further stretch the bandwidth of the machine. We increased the size of the transformer in order to increase the stability of the electrical current. In addition to that, we have also added a brand new power cleansing technology into it. And this technology, Quantum Burning Technology, is also how the new cable run-in machine got its name.
We then finalized the specifications at 70 watt of amplification. The amplification module has a dynamic range of 24 volt, a frequency response of 0 Hz to 50 KHz and topped up with the new power cleansing technology. Let us explain to you the new technology. The technology is based on the principle of power synchronous resonance. By applying a similar but reverse polarity frequency against noise, the noise will be cancelled out. This technology works analogically similar to the principle of noise cancelling earphones. Our QBT module produces eight discrete frequencies, namely 120 Hz, 60 Hz, 30 Hz, 15 Hz, 7.5 Hz, 3.75 Hz, 1.875 Hz and 0.9375 Hz.
Resistors and inductors are used as load. There is also benefit using inductors as load. A 200 mg of magnetic field will be generated, thus, acting as a shield to the circuit. By using the QBT module, it does not only cancel out noise, but also repel external electromagnetic interference. Drilling deeper, we will explore further into the specifications for the different channels. There are five channels in our QBT Cable Run-in Machine, they are for speaker cables, power cords, digital cables, RCA cables and XLR balanced cables.
The first two channels, for speaker cables and power cords, the run-in signal is rated at 70 watt, 24 volt and a frequency response of 0 Hz to 50 KHz, The latter three channels, for digital cables, RCA cables and XLR cables, use only a mere 5 watt as the cables are far smaller in diameter. However, the signal remains at 24 volt and the bandwidth remains at 0 Hz to 50 KHz respectively.
From our previous experience, if overly high current is used to run in interconnects, over run-in could happen and bring adverse effects to the sound.about how much higher the run-in signal is as compared to that of normal listening session. The signal between the source and preamplifier, depending on source type, carries a voltage of 2 volt to 3 volt. If the input impedance is about 10 KW (some as high as 1 MW), then the load power is calculated at less than 1 mW. We use 5 watt for our run-in signal, which is 5000 times more than the source signal. Added by a full frequency sweep every 1.7 seconds, the cable is undergoing way higher utilization rate than when used to listen to music at moderate volume.
For signal between the preamplifier and power amplifier, it could reach as high as 10 volt. If the input impedance of the power amplifier is 4.7 KW, the power calculated would be at about 20 mW. In that case, QBT is 250 times stronger than normal signal strength. When listening to music normally, the signal would be varying at tens to hundreds of millivolt. Hence, the actual power ratings are essentially so much lesser than1 mW and 20 mW respectively .
Voltage is normally within 220 volt to 240 volt for power cords. Even though the electricity is fixed at 50 Hz, we are using 0 Hz to 50 KHz to run in the power cords. As for speaker cables, on average, we seldom go beyond 10 watt when listening at moderate volume. Big current flow only happens when there is a huge dynamic swing, but we are sure people would not keep on listening at such high volume. Furthermore, most music would not even fully cover the frequency spectrum. But we still use 70 watt of continuous full frequency sweep to run in the speaker cables, making the signal strength tens of times higher than.
Currently, we are offering this QBT Cable Harmonising Run-in service for 18 Hrs @$50 (Offer period). This process able to bring out the true potential of any brands cables on the market whether is old or new in box.
