Preliminary DIY Grounding Box Result
High end audio  always had a grey area about defying science with these special cable,boxes,and solutions but this grounding box and the price is insane.   https://www.entreq.com/products/ground-boxes-17667704  
Anyone still using this player? Sony DVP-S9000ES
Still a very good transport and really shines with a external DAC.Im streaming my music the last 3 years but occasionally you come across a CD that no streaming service has and having a dedicated CD play is great.I might use it like 10 times a yea... 
Please recommend speakers

Ground 'box' what's in them?
My brother in law a electrician and he laughed at some of those who think this actually grounds the unit by plugging it into a wooden box full of exotic crystals.Those saying they hear a difference probably the same people saying $500 bottle of cl...

Audiophile Fuses

Has anyone tried Blue Jeans Cable LC-1 RCA IC?
