Burying your amp ‘green’ when it dies

it's about separating the gullible from their money

^^^ This. Zathras reads the all encompassing snake oil sales man MrTonyC of incoherent ‘I’m in it for the money’ sounds has a wooden box for sale. Zathras reads it can lower the ‘noise floor’....really? Measurements please tel Zathras more....

to put it in to context:



this one comes with something to make your system sound better - guaranteed !

Five Grand for a grounding box...sure, I'll take a couple.

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.

Would black pepper & paprika work ?

So are you saying they work or what are you saying, can you justify any of the bullshit they are saying.

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.
