    Didn't the measurements directly show an increase in noise floor? Or did I read that wrong?

    They do but not by a massive amount. But that was only with one cable connected.

    How ‘massive’ the noise generated is directly depends on how long the connecting cable is - or aerial as it is otherwise known. The more cables you attach the more aerials are created.

    That's what I was saying before. Get the level of noise up to the point where it is audible as 'improved soundstage' and off you go. But the box itself doesn't actually do anything, the wire inside it you are plugging into is just an extension of the aerial. If there is a genuine tweak here then it can be done a lot cheaper.

    Default What constitutes a grounding box?

    Have anyone of you tried the damn box instead of trying to make some unfounded theories?

    The theorising is based on the independent measurements of one such device I posted earlier on in the thread. Granted they are just theories, not facts but they are not unfounded. IMO if the device does have a real effect then what has been suggested is likely, although not certainly, how it does it.

    ... because you trust any said independent reviews written on the net!? I only trust my judgment and my ears!

    Scientologists use a similar box I think, or is that something else? Anyway, I'm sure they're convinced about whatever it is their box does.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
