Re: Grounding Boxes
The alcoholic refreshment will do nicely thank you. Otherwise, nothing in these mineral loaded boxes a couple of cheapo clip-on ferrites probably wouldn't cure.
I think Coherent sell something slightly different, basically a metal plate acting as a central earth connection point which is mounted on a box, but I could be mistaken here.

So are you saying they work or what are you saying, can you justify any of the bullshit they are saying._D_S_J_R_ wrote: ↑Wed Dec 05, 2018 12:21 pm The alcoholic refreshment will do nicely thank you.

Re: Grounding Boxes
I'm saying that for me, clip-on ferrites work well on some of the gear I have here and when I used to play with such stuff, beyond one or two on the same cable, nothing further happens. These add-on grounding boxes surely can't be doing much more, magic powder or not - in my opinion, but of course a typical far eastern audiophile often seems to lap this kind of thing up and the more costly they are, the greater the perceived effect it seems.
