Grounding with a Earth box?


OK so help be understand something.   I understand the value of grounding equipment, but what is the value of having a woodbox with salt, earth, minerals etc  do for grounding?  How is supposed to work or be better?

Odds are @twoleftears , it is just Y-capacitors connecting the two terminals together.  They are a type of capacitor that fails "safe" ... i.e. it does not form a short, but stays being a capacitor.

Scott Berry, the electronic engineer who designed it, gives a 10 page explanation of the way it works here:

If it looks like ...
And it smell like ...
It probably is ...

I don't know how someone who has an engineering degree can write that trollop, but given his expertise is in "digital", maybe he just has no clue what he is talking about.

Oh well, people will believe anything ...
LOL, I knew you'd show up and suck the fun out of it.. SHI$ is fun.. lighten up... Your like the FART that never stop smellin', BUT at least your becoming OUR BIG FART.. We'll get use to it yet. A Big ol FART.... that never stops givin' methane 101... Engineer that... Bucco!

audio2design, your somethin'

LOL you keep me in stitches with your absolute arrogance. I do admire your tenacity, to provoke any occasion you can.. You are a willful person, tempting not a discussion but an argument at EVERY opportunity..


Just trying to wade out of the brown stuff oldhvy, but wow it is piling up deep.  Audiophiles are no different from any number of other endeavours where people convince themselves of things that are just not true and then defend them vehemently. Remember the 200MPH carburettor. It was the man (big oil/car companies) keeping us down!  Nope, it was physics.   How about that box you add to your incoming AC that reduces your electricity bills 30%?  Lots believe that and still buy them.  How about a mat you put in your electrical panel that causes your refrigerator to start freezing (thermostats be darned).


All these tweaks are the audiophile equivalent of "get rich" schemes. They are a substitute for hard work.
5:00 am in the morning until 2:00 am the following morning, the electrical is extra noisy. 21 hours of the day and night, I might be able to help that some way, WITHOUT killing the dynamics of my systems..OR my pocket book.. Junior my rabbit, need a new home.. I'm savin' :-)


Your house sits at the end of a long wire, i.e. inductor.  That wire is connected to a transformer (inductor). It is also connected to a wire (inductor).  That is in your neighborhood which is actually quieter from 5am - 6pm.

Yes, there can be more harmonics on the line during the day, but those are low frequency harmonics, i.e. in the KHz, low 10's of KHz.  All the high frequency noise, etc. from industrial never makes it through the wires. There is too much parasitic inductance and capacitance.
