Shunyata vs other types of grounding devices

[Steve Williams]

It would help IMO. You could always chat with Shunyata. The founder of that company is extremely sharp. I used an isolated, ionic grounding rod from Lyncole (similar to Erico) in my dedicated room to good effect. I am also interested in fiddling with Tripoint. Lowering the "noise floor" does impact the music.

That high tech ground rod should be connected at/near the service entrance of your home! Never to any circuit in your room.

I worked directly with the engineers at Lycole and my electrician both of whom had done similar setups for studios.

Well then, maybe I mis-understood what you did. Could you describe your setup again please using different words?

Jfrech, I have admired your system on Audiogon. You owe it to yourself to experiment in the grounding arena. See if you can try the Entreq or Tripoint and tell us what you HEAR.

Speedy, what have you done to optimize "grounding" in your personal system? We are all addicted to Best it seems. What does that constitute for you in terms of equipment?

What do I do?

I follow the suggestions in these three papers:

The Bill Whitlock of Jensen Transformers Seminar paper

The Jim Brown of Audio Systems Group white paper
"Power and Grounding for Audio and Audio/Video Systems"
