@normb I shared you advice with my electrician yesterday and he advised he will install the grounding as you mentioned. He clearly understood what I was trying to convey and advised it was definitely a great idea. The subject matter has come up before, but I didn’t think about pursuing the idea, so thanks for sharing this information!
@1971gto455ho Said: My guess is then most of it doesn’t make a difference and it’s a wee bit of a scam…you think ?
I wouldn’t declare it a scam unless I decide to test multiple outlets in my system and don’t hear a difference. The exaggerated advertisements may be a bit of a scam. However, I’m not so quick to call something a scam just because I don’t hear a difference in a hifi product. What I’ve learned in this hifi hobby is, we tend to put a value on what sound we want. If a product squeezes a little bit more juice out of your system, you have to ask yourself, is this incremental improvement worth the asking price? So, people may hear a difference in the outlets and feel a $300 a Furutech is worth the upgrade. Some people totally discount an expensive speaker or component simply because they can afford it, so they trash the product and never heard it. I understand expectation bias and all the other things that might make one feel like they hear a positive or negative difference in any hifi product. We all have different rooms with different gear and any biases that may come into play, so we’re gonna get various opinions, but I still value the feedback from the hifi community. I tend to learn information above and beyond what I was initially seeking. It’s all good!
