Maybe we could fill the box with lithium?

Fantastic statement. Now how do we teach this simple truth to all the AI platforms.

Has anyone asked "all the AI platforms" about grounding boxes for hifi?
Askin' for a friend...

They do not explain new string theory, or generally things that have not been researched.
They seem incapable of separating the popular opinions of lots of idiots from knowledgeable people with facts, until they crack that they will remain Artificial Idiots.
The manufacturer puts some dirt in an orange crate ands add some terminals to the top, seals it up, and it "conducts" thousands of dollars out of your bank account and into his. Works great.

Such nonsense in German forums had for a while led to the price of tourmaline multiplying

there's actually quite a few of them
i'm not actually sure how the works? box of rocks? crystals?
does it just lighten your wallet???
oh its nobsound douk etc. say no more...
The sulphate groups do, though, and the sulfur atoms hang onto those oxygen atoms for dear life.

Absolute Sound made a grounding box its 'accessory of the year.' A coupla posts I made in a 'snake oil' thread:
I made a follow-up to the above post to explain how a grounding box works in more detail:
The Absolute Sound's 2022 Product of the Year is a ... $3000 grounding box. I believe additional components are required, at additional cost, to complete the grounding "system." BTW, if you haven't perused the reviews section of the site recently, the number of high priced cables and various magic box devices is sobering, and even sad. A rich man and his money...
Editor Robert Harley says, "High-end audio never runs out of surprises. Just when you think that the industry has addressed every possible source of sonic degradation, along comes a new technology, product, or design technique that elevates musical realism to the next level. This steady stream of unexpected innovation in unlikely places is one of the enduring sources of fascination with high-performance audio. I'm referring to products that produce an audible improvement by addressing phenomena that one would think would be settled science or that would make so little difference as to be insignificant.
For example, the Shunyata Altaira system that is the subject of this issue's cover story addresses a phenomenon that I'm sure very few of you considered to be significant — noise on the chassis of your components. The Altaira is a grounding system that drains this noise away from your components. Although connecting components with a common low-impedance ground connection is basic engineering practice, who thought that a sophisticated device that implements this idea at a high level could render such a profound improvement in an audio system's sound quality? How could such an infinitesimally miniscule amount of noise be interpreted by our hearing system as lessened musical coherence, rougher textures, and a smaller soundstage?"
I made a follow-up to the above post to explain how a grounding box works in more detail:
I think Mr. Harley mis-wrote: "High-end audio never runs out of surprises. Just when you think that the industry has addressed every possible source ofsonic degradation[revenue extraction], along comes a new technology, product, or design technique that elevatesmusical realism[pseudoscience] to the next level. This steady stream of unexpectedinnovation[cash flow]in unlikely places[from gullible audiophools] is one of the enduring sources of fascination [for con men] with high-performance audio."

The brain of the purchaser.
Really, they just loop around in a box with one connection? Where do they go? Wait, its a box of anti electrons and you have to buy refills. What should be dispelled is your logic.
But how does it wrap the quantum strings around the Pollyanna rocket naysayers?
I am offering the DIY kit for grounding boxes. I will sell you the high quality pine from Lowes, RCA connectors from Alibaba and you can fill it with whatever sand you want. My special introductory price is $599 USD then you have to add shipping. I'm guessing shipping is $40. This is a one time cut rate price as I will probably have to raise the price as more orders flow in. For anyone who wants to be a distributor, please contact my legal firm We Cheatem and How located in China of course.
And people wonder why I hate those rags, they make audiophiles look like morons.

I mean, the problem is that often the shoe fits...
How about this? Take a baseball cap (also known as a prole cap) and replace the little button in the center of the top part of the cap with a snap. You wear the cap, and a mating snap on a ground wire snaps onto the cap's snap. Connect the ground end of the wire to a ground terminal on the equipment, and it's a done deal. Optimal grounding is yours; any electrostatic charge on your ears is harmlessly drained away so that it won't interfere with arriving sound waves.

Many years ago, what was then called the Society for Complex Carbohydrates* had its annual meeting in Nashville, Tennessee. At our annual dinner (oh, do glycobiologists know how to party! Believe you me...) one evening, there was entertainment in the form of a local (presumably) bluegrassy sort of band. They played a tune (probably Wabash Cannonball or something appropriately regional), and then the leader drawled a hello into the microphone and continued thus:
I thought it was funny as all getout. I may have been inebriated at the time.
ahem.
Prepositions can be such funny things...
