Entreq Wilma Equipment Support The Wilma is Entreq's compact equipment support — a heavy, solid, non-magnetic rack designed to absorb sonic radiation and vibrations without introducing any of the coloration that metal-framed racks can add to a system. It shares the same leg design as the Athena Equipment Support, but with smaller shelves suited to components with a more modest footprint. If your source components, phono stages, or smaller boxes are sitting on a standard rack and you suspect the rack itself is doing them no favours, the Wilma is worth a serious listen. Entreq are a Swedish company whose work centres on a simple but well-considered premise: that unwanted energy — mechanical vibration, electromagnetic interference, ground noise — gets into your components and degrades what you hear. Their equipment supports address the mechanical side of that problem directly, using non-metallic construction to avoid the resonant behaviour that plagues conventional metal racks. Non-Metal Construction The Wilma is built without metal. That matters because metal is resonant — it rings at particular frequencies, and those resonances find their way into the signal path of whatever sits on top of it. Entreq's non-metal approach removes that variable entirely. The shelves are heavy and solid, absorbing rather than reflecting vibrational energy, and the absence of magnetic material means no interaction with the electromagnetic fields that transformers and power supplies generate. Flexible Configuration The Wilma is available in one or two-level configurations, and the shelves can be arranged to suit your equipment and your space. Each shelf shares the same leg design as the larger Athena, so the two can be used together in a mixed system if needed. The compact shelf dimensions make the Wilma particularly well suited to smaller hi-fi components — phono stages, DACs, streamers, and similar boxes that don't need the full width of a larger rack.

The Wilma suits anyone who has invested seriously in their source components or ancillary boxes and wants to give them a proper mechanical foundation. It is particularly relevant if your components have a smaller footprint — the Wilma's compact shelves are designed precisely for this. It is not a budget rack dressed up with a story; it is a specific solution to a specific problem, and it works best in a system where the rest of the chain is already performing well. Buying from Martins Hi-Fi Martins Hi-Fi has been in Norwich since 1968. Elizabeth Gould runs the business today, and we stock only brands we have heard properly and stand behind. We have Entreq equipment supports available to demonstrate at our Norwich showroom — if you are curious about what a proper equipment support actually does in a real system, come and hear it for yourself. When you get in touch, you'll be speaking with Dave, Chris and Tim — experienced specialists who can advise on the Wilma and how it fits into your system as a whole. Contact us at [email protected], call 01603 627010, or WhatsApp on 07554 687137. You can read more about how we work on our Why Martins Hi-Fi page. We are at 85–91 Ber Street, Norwich, NR1 3EY.
