Best kept secret in AC line filtering conditioning


How many of you guys truly know of Puritan Audio Labs ? Not many yet ,these are made in the U.K 
I have 3 friends in Europe that own them , and found a guy at our audio club just  an hour away 
I will check out next week , and against the much more costly AQ niagra  this removes hum,noise 
like nobodies business .model 136, and  better still model 156 all under $2k check out the video.

The Ground Master is a $240 small box which comes with a cable hooking up to your 136 or 156 ground post. You drive an 8 foot copper clad grounding rod into the ground, hopefully relatively close to your music room, and run an 8 gauge copper wire from it to the appropriate Ground Master post. The Ground Master enables you to do this safely. The effect is quite noticeable.

The mains in most dwellings have a copper rod tied to the service panel ground. All electrical device’s safety grounds are connected to the neutral and ground bars.

How can creating a new earth ground which is separate from the service panel ground meet local code?

Good explanation on the video. The box is creating a star-ground for all the components and sending an equal impedance to mother earth.

I bet it works great. But I still wonder about code. What will an inspector say when he sees a ground rod not tied to the service panel ground. The box probably prevents voltage returning and causing electrocution. But still, what will an inspector say?

I like the concept of this grounding unit. The alternative is to use one of the mega-expensive grounding boxes which create a star-ground in a mix of earth and minerals.



It manifests instead as a layer of grain or glare, a graying of the background, an indistinct quality around images. It makes the sound stage flat and narrow. When removed the background goes black, images float more distinct and dimensional, and everything sounds much more liquid and
@millercarbon, You just made a good case for using Rick Schultz's High Fidelity products which use a magnetic field to eliminate noise riding on the mains and audio signal. I own several cables and devices.
