    Default Grounding boxes?

    Hi.

    Could anyone give me any idea if these voodoo-like boxes actually work?

    I ask because a friend of mine in Belgium has just bought some Entreq boxes and he says they really do make a positive difference. He's certainly not one to make stuff up, so... do they work?

    The more I look on the net about the 'grounding box' the more I'm intrigued.

    I do love my crystals and I do believe they can be used to comfort people. I have known this to be true.

    Entreq grounding boxes seem to be the the most famous manufacturer but other manufactures are now stepping in with positive results from users.

    I know some like them, but don't personally think I could post anything polite about the idea.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    I'm very sceptical about these boxes filled with what looks like charcoal with a piece of wire coming out of it

    And how much do they cost

    I think it is one of those things you have to try for yourself, and see if it makes any difference.

    Hmmmm, I remember fetching up this very topic years ago and as always we had those who believed and those that didn't. Like everything else in this hobby, use YOUR OWN ears .

    Wise advice
    ou might slip, you might slide, you might
    Stumble and fall by the road side
    But don't you ever let nobody drag your spirit down
    Remember you're walking up to heaven

    Don't let nobody turn you around
    … Walk with the rich, walk with the poor
    Learn from everyone, that's what life is for
    And don't you let nobody drag your spirit down

    The price of the Entreq boxes is rather high, but they certainly work amazingly well, and with immediate apparency in A/B tests I’ve heard.

    There’s a lot to get sorted before that stage though, and it’s certainly a case of ‘money to burn’ stature.

    I'm sure that this was discussed extensively on this forum a few months ago.

    The trouble with using your own ears is that we cannot remove placebo effects unless DB tests are involved.
