    The simple answer to the OP's question:

    A method of extracting large amounts of money from the gullible!

    And, no, I haven't tried one. However, I always find that line of reasoning (you have to try something before you can comment on it, etc) specious. After all, I've never tasted a dog turd but I'm very sure I wouldn't like it, howoever well it's marketed

    I asked what a grounding box was because I hadn't heard of them until recently. I suspected it was foo and as you say a method of separating audiophools from their money. Anything by RA is snake oil and anyone foolish enough to pay vast sums of money for a shiny fuse deserves what they get. Now RA sells grounding boxes, had I known that I wouldn't have bothered to ask.

    I read some interesting reviews of the entreq ones a few months ago , but the prices seemed bonkers. I did find a DIY you tube video for one that i actually started buying a few bits to pit together, but i got bogged down in researching the minerals to fill it. Then i splurged on a new amp with vastly improved signal to noise and a built in streamer and ive not taken the project any further. I think the theory of lower noise floor sounds plausible to me. I dont think i would notice amything on my current system though.
