It’s another emperors new clothes moment. Rather like the Bedrok plinth- incoming and dives for cover……

Chord Company releases new product - the Dominant Seventh

(Every time I read thread title like that I wonder why neither of the two Chord businesses have adopted musical names! Seems a missed opportunity to me.)

The dream will answer your dilemma, no worries. When you will wake up, you will order both, I see it in my cristal ball.

It has ARAY in its name, so this grounding wire must be a must have bargain.

You can buy two if you have a separate phono stage. Just in case the filtering didn’t work on the first one presumably.

I wonder if someone is going to say that this transforms the sound to another level.

I genuinely do not understand the problem this product is trying to fix and given the price I shan’t be buying one to find out if it makes any difference.

Is ARAY an acronym for something?

It could take this week’s credit card spending up a level.

I checked…it’s not April 1st.

The earth/ground in a home is very polluted these days meaning you often get noise IN to your system through ground when you often might think you drain it off. That means this noise will find its way to your turntable and since the needle is working at below 1mV levels it could interfere with the signal going from your pickup to get amplified in your phono and amplified again your preamp. So it’s likely filtering INCOMING noise from reaching your turntable. It’s a virtual ground similar to Entreq and Nordost qkore which also talks about noise reaching your system from the outside and in through the ground connection in your power cords. Puritan also focus on ground noise issues.

“Chord Company states that this combination effectively shields sensitive signals from external interference, resulting in cleaner and more detailed sound reproduction.”

Nordost talks about it bit more in detail here. They are fully aware of and mention Naim chassis/floating switch too.

I believe people should judge products by ear and not because they don’t understand.
