    We thrashed it out over this 'gizmo' a while back. I made a simple rig to test the idea, with predictable results.

    Thanks. I missed the original thread (I was away over Christmas last year). Needed some cheering up today!

    From my experience, having followed good earthing practice that is more likely to introduce hum.

    I too was busy with house guests last Christmas, so missed the earlier thread.

    I think all that could be said, was said - and it is interesting to note that those proudly claiming to have an open mind were not sufficiently moved to buy a 'thoroughbred' cable at £200 to try.

    Has anyone here tried the Entreq 'grounding boxes'?

    Morning Barry,

    We affectionately refer to Entreq as Vampire poo, I will start by saying we do not sell these products, though we have customers that use them, they have invested in them after a tail period and seem happy with their purchases. Though the quality of the connecting cables does leave a lot to be desired imho.

    I am sure the more capable on here could fabricate some more acceptable alternatives.

    Does it work, the people that own it feel they do, again we do not sell these products.
