There is no doubt that these grounding boxes have an effect. The real question...is the effect beneficial ?
For example...slightly tipped up sound at the expense of sound in other frequency ranges (low to mid bass) giving the illusion of more resolution...

I have my Entreq boxes out of the system now and am starting to seriously consider selling them. Still haven't decided. I now firmly believe it is possible to over tweak one's system (footers and grounding boxes)...a real rabbit hole one can get lost in and so too, the ultimate sound potential of the system can be lost via over tweaking. YMMV.

Your room seems a bit small to really be able to gorge yourself on the hightened spatial information. I personally think they're anti timbre & texture, which are more important to me than a massive soundstage.

$ is best spent on the big ticket items... which are the most costly to change so I can see why people like "tweaks".

I think Rockitman has been vaccinated against grounding devices and footers by my master Yoda ddk, while Ron is getting an early symptom of Tripoint infection from Super Mike.

Last year I though I was vaccinated - but it was a false immunity. Direct exposition was extremely contagious. :eek:

A better solution is to eliminate all of your ground-loops, through digital and analog technologies. If there is no current running in the grounds, there is no problem. They are simply safety grounds, no more. Here is an analog cure:

Looks good. Unfortunately no way of connecting your box say in between pre amp and power amp without buying another interconnect.
