Sometimes Boots have it in stock ((Tunbridge Wells) if not they order it for me

You had a third you mentioned, don’t remember the name, maybe Audiodesk ?

A Dela (Melco) C 100 ethernet cable to do the last short run into my DAC. Shielded and ground at one end. Worth a try to go alongside my Blue Jeans cables.

What’s there now?

You mean what is it replacing? Blue jeans Cat 6. I’ve been doing some cable and switch tidying so thought I’d give the Dela a go.

You are correct. I have a Kirmuss and haven’t used it in ages. It doesn’t work nearly as well as the Okki Nokki as a presoak for records that need it, plus the Degritter II. I am getting a basket for it so I can use it as a US cleaner for bike parts, jewelry, and other things.

Actually, I think it may work. I have attached my DIY mineral ground box to my LHY AS8 pro switch: to the signal ground pin and the signal ground of its clock input and there is a noticeable improvement. More space and less harshness. Need to confirm this over the next days…

Sometimes I think the gain more comes from connecting ground points to a central point (think star earth). Puritan has products for this that is not a ground box but a signal to one point ground. If you have a ground box and connect products to the same point it will have a similar effect I guess in levelling out ground differences?

TBH i dont fully understand this complex topic. My rudimentary understanding: My Powerdistributor Ansuz A3 has a stargrounding, but this is for the ground connection in the mains power. If i understand correctly, it may not help with signal ground and signal ground differences. Then there is also HF noise in the signal ground which in addition to signal ground differences among devices, can cause harm and could/should be drained. I think that the mineral earth box is useful for the latter but could be also used as a signal ( not mains) star ground for all devices of the hifi chain, given sufficient number of connections, like the Clearaudio of @JosquinDesPrez

All these products are passive grounding box, aka “artificial” grounding in a box to facilitate the hifi boxes , individually grounding or group grounding that goes to a power block or if the product is versatile , it ground both

In short layman term, it cleanse and give low noise in return

You can google the product -telos- they massively produce products on this. The dealer kept mentioning to me that’s it’s like detoxing in a human body :sweat_smile:

My next venture/mission/experiment /purchase will be - Rossini clock + Valhalla power cord + Valhalla coaxial vs vavaldi clock + Frey 2 power cord + Frey 2 coaxial . Will take some time to find out the difference :laughing:
