Preliminary DIY Grounding Box Result


I live in a big, downtown high rise building. Our grounding is crap. I just took a 12 awg sliver stranded wire and stripped both ends. One end went straight into the center of a 3 pound bag of magnetite, and the other stripped end was wrapped around a spare coax rca input (outside negative) on my DAC.

Result: Highly noticeable "analogue-ing" of the sound, along with more dramatically more pronounced soundstaging. Space between the instruments seems like it tripled. Smoother, detailed highs and warmer, dynamic vocals.

I have some quartz coming and will mix it in. Plus I’ll run to other components and report back. Just wanted to try this for a quick test.

Oh geez, here we go again! Audiophiles love 💕 noise and distortion. Yeah, right! The fact that roberjerman agrees with him makes it even funnier. 🤗
@geoffkait: Rumor has it that you have a working example of the Dean Drive? Inertia-less force is ready to be unveiled!

tomask6,

I just hooked up the SR grounding block to 4 of my main components. I also added a Akiko rca tuning stick to the ground input to the SR.

There is a definite increase in image specificity. More grounded (pun intended). I don’t know why, but it is noticeable.
