    Entreq "signal grounding" Measurements

    Entreq "signal grounding" Measurements

    Imho most of these grounding devices contain a lot of marketing hype. The hype is to justify a high price. All it really is,is a ground sink where current noise can be removed to the sink. The main problem with these is the cables used are way to small and expensive which is complete bs. To...

    What Happened to Hi Fi?

    Frank....though women love the cinema and the musical soundtrack intensifies the emotional connection. Women might not like hi fi but that's probably a control or home interior design thing. Women are just more practical about spending money....just like most guys say....I hope she never finds...

    What Happened to Hi Fi?

    What happened to Hi Fi? Same thing as every other man hobby.....inflation created a cost spiral and the information age coupled with Asia coming of age put everything out of reach of most people. Glad I purchased stuff in the 1970's,80's.90's and 2000 while I still worked. Yes the only bargain...

    Frank I think my mono blocks fit the bill, as instead of fuses they have 25 amp circuit breakers. I can always arc weld with them...he he.

    EMI/RFI thoughts and discussion on its management via cables etc

    Sorry Don, I would only focus on chassis grounding. If it improved the sonics, I would go heavier. After experimenting a good 20 amp dedicated circuit 10 /3 seems fine. I've come to understand that most audiophile jewelry i.e. Cables high $$ and pwr conditioners, $$ duplexes are just small fixes...

    Chassis grounding seems like a bottomless pit. I would never spend any money from the electrical panel in and just focus on chassis grounding,amazing results.

    I mean that those qualities are not price dependent or even age dependent.

    I use my preamp enclosure as the star point. Everything that is IC'd is in the circuit.

    EMI/RFI thoughts and discussion on its management via cables etc

    Hi Frank, You know I just read something..... http://www.rane.com/note151.html read the part about signal ground and chassis ground. I have never read this part of Rane before. What I have done is chassis grounded my system which is unbalanced. I have also found that the size of the strap...

    EMI/RFI thoughts and discussion on its management via cables etc

    Hi Frank, I now use 5 amplifiers,about 5k and 23 drivers...my ground sink did away with any grounding issues. Somehow it seems like all my system is now ground balanced. Maybe some can address that possibility. I have 9 pieces of equipment, 7 different manufacturers tied to the ground sink.

    Well I'd like to hear his thoughts then. I do use a ground sink and it's impact has been profound,although I do focus on the pathway which is much larger.
