Grounding with a Earth box?


OK so help be understand something.   I understand the value of grounding equipment, but what is the value of having a woodbox with salt, earth, minerals etc  do for grounding?  How is supposed to work or be better?

A QUESTION?

If the neutral and the ground are tied together at this box, how does that work for noise? The ground is the garbage collector right? Am I trying to dump the noise through the ground? What stop STUFF from going backwards? I mean AC is doing the Cha, Cha, Cha, RIGHT, back and forth but always towards the source, or the ground? OR Towards the source and THEN to ground or neutral or BOTH..

This is what is messing with me. What stops it (noise) from going BACK into the circuit. In simple terms. Where is the directional gadget?

I’m thinking of running a common shielded very small flexible (antenna lead maybe), to a common star. I want to run a second lug to earth.
I’m going to bridge between the TWO. What make it go in ONE direction?

Does the ground know to suck out the noise? OR is the path of least resistance thing come into play? (MAN did I wake up foggy). :-)
So this box is a "BETTER" collector of GROUND? (as if it were a thing)
I dunno!!

The Ground Zero uses a wire attached to a ground post or the chassis of the components. I tried it and it seemed to smooth out the highs, that's all.

I believe the active blocks use the negative of an RCA jack as ground, and the ground from an XLR input then they're tied to the ground block. Possibly also using the neutral.



"I’m much more concerned about the use of an apostrophe for a plural. This has to be stopped!"

Fire the interpreter!

This was the original: ”Varför använda våra marklådor?"

“Why use our Ground Box’s ?

You will get an improvement in dynamic’s, a lower noise floor and more natural flow in the sound.”

Is there no Advertising Standards Authority to challenge this sort of thing?

(Not so much the dodgy claims. I’m much more concerned about the use of an apostrophe for a plural. This has to be stopped!)


I think the alternative to such boxes is having a solid rod planted deep in the ground outside of your house with a ground wire running to a single grounding point for all of your gear.  Why this is important, I don't know.  But, I do know it does affect how a system sounds.

I heard a demonstration of the Nordost grounding system.  It consisted of such a box to which all components are connected via a run of wire from an unused input to the grounding box.  Nordost supplied wires with all sorts of alternative connector plugs to fit that unused input (RCA, XLR, BNC, etc.).  With the grounding installed, the biggest change in sound was to the imaging of the system -instruments and vocalist seemed to float more freely in space and seemed to be actually present in the room.  The decay of notes also seemed to be more obvious and natural sounding instead of sounding cut off.  I liked what I heard. 

I did not get to hear it in my own system and did not ask for an in-home demonstration because my amplifier does not have an unused input.  I was told that a chassis grounding point was NOT an alternative to an unused input for this grounding scheme.

In the room next door. He is finishing in room 4 and will be with you in a moment.
All grounding schemes from component to earth have different levels of impedance (ground potential). We know this much.
By no means am I an expert, but by wiring each component’s chassis (earth ground) to the grounding box and adjusting the settings, the theory is that an equal impedance to ground can be achieved.

These guys, probably just a guy with phenomenal sense of humor, are running to win the prize of some sort. And they/he may make some money along the way.
The box is from the same company that makes vibb eaters -  cant make this up ...or can I?

Where was this on The silliest tweak thread? After this, Hallographs start making sense.
well it can be expensive snake oil - https://www.thecableco.com/accessories/grounding-devices/olympus-tellus.html

Come on, see it from the positive side.

It is.......(Guaranteed lowest advertised price)
I was thinking if this is true - then why not just add a new ground rod and bring it into the house (if possible) ?   A ground rod and wire would cost less than $50 vs a box of dirt and minerals.    Any thoughts? 
So per the website https://www.entreq.com/products/ground-boxes-17667704

it supposes to lower the noise floor since the home electrical system is full of interference.  
I put cat litter in a beer can with a wire and it works.

I can gear the difference...

some of this stuff is crazy ass snake oil.
You're missing my point.  This is not one guy making a box -  its an item sold by retailers.   My question is how does work and is better than true ground?  Otherwise, why is ay one doing it?
brubin,

The OCD guy gave you the recipe, why not build it and report your impressions? 
"How?" is the refuge of scoundrels. "Does?" is all that matters.

We admit, you made us laugh. It is hilarious.
It’s just one more scam of many in the audio world. The only reason these scams work is because all someone has to claim is “ I hear a difference “ ....all that science you speak of is useless as long as I can hear the difference!    Well, Ok, I guess it’s game over
How is supposed to work or be better?

I got no clue what you're talking about.. BUT I'm pretty thick.. What are you saying, they sell boxes full of different soil compositions and say is provides a "Better Ground"?
