    F@ck me, Charles. I am laughing my arse off. I'm not sure how that could read any other way.

    Kind of like pulling a grenades pin out in your own pocket then fumbling to get it out

    Default Grounding boxes - The real deal

    Marco,

    I think that your comments are a bit tough on Charles...

    If you go through this tread and others related to grounding box, you will see lots of jokes and laughters from some against others who are sharing their experiences ...

    I don’t think it’s the way one should address another ... however, I have not seen any moderator comments about these!

    We surely do not want this forum to become a gang of some against the others. Do we?

    Just my view...

    Ok, that's fine, and I appreciate the apology. In future, please express your point of view without rubbishing that of others, as I'm sorry, that's how what you wrote came across. Also, I'm not very comfortable with your comment about "wooden boxes with shill inside them". That's not acceptable either, unless you have some actual proof to back up such an assertion?

    Therefore, in future please stick to discussing the hi-fi aspects of a subject, without casting any such aspersions on manufacturers, or if these types of products aren't for you, ignore threads that involve them. You should bear in mind that this is a subjectivist forum, where ears will always come first before any supposed 'scientific facts'.

    I'm sorry, but I've no idea what you're referring to. Could you link me to it please, so I can take a look and offer my opinion?

    We surely do not want this forum to become a gang of some against the others. Do we?
    Again, I've no idea what you mean, so I'm afraid you'll have to explain yourself a little more clearly. I'm sorry you think my treatment of Charles was a bit tough, but he rightly apologised, as he understood that was out of order, so I stand by what I wrote.

    One of the things we will moderate *very strictly* on here is when members start to get personal and don't show others the courtesy and respect that they deserve.

    This is a friendly forum, so we insist that members address each other in a friendly/non-aggressive/confrontational manner *at all times*, regardless of whether they think someone is 'talking bollocks' or not - and that's how it will always be!

    Please read through this tread (from the beginning) ...

    Then this one: https://theartofsound.net/forum/show...-grounding-box

    Lots of comments are far from being respectful of others' experiences or comments.

    I see nothing wrong with exposure of wrong arguments, and even a little jest, but direct ad hominem is not to me acceptable.

    I've puzzled over my Thevenin and Norton, and superposition theories, and cannot for the life of me see what any of this can do.

    Exactly. It's completely unnecessary, easily avoidable and simply won't be tolerated.
