Shielding components from EMI/RFI... Help please
Thanks, Al. Everything you said makes sense. It's interesting that you took Dr. Johnson's course. It looks very interesting, although most of it would go way over my head.Let me take this opportunity to say that, during this process, you've been a... 
Do you believe in Magic?
Ok, Sabai, you convinced me. I will look around for some Bybee products. :-)bc

Hi Metralla - I didn't mention the other outlet because I didn't want folks to interpret my post as "X is better than Y." With that caveat, the other outlet was Synergistic Research's Teslaplex. I also own PS Audio's Power Port and Shunyata's SR-Z...

Hi Al - I checked for continuity between the tabs in the computer's ethernet port and the computer's IEC ground pin. You were right, the port is grounded.Correct me if I am wrong, Al, but that seems to help explain something that puzzled me at the... 
Do you believe in Magic?
Today I had another encounter with Magic. I installed a maestro outlet for my dedicated line. It replaced another outlet from a highly regarded (as these things go) manufacturer. I tried the new outlet out of curiosity. And by 'curiosity' I mean p...

Thanks again, Al. A few final questions...You mentioned a couple times that a ground must have an "effective path." I don't really know what the factors are that make a ground path effective.To ground the ethernet switch, I drilled through the met...

Here are the results of my experiments with grounding…THE SETUPCOMPUTER ->50’ shielded ethernet cable ->ETHERNET SWITCH ->1’ ethernet cable ->SONOS ->s/pdif cable ->RECLOCKER ->s/pdif cable ->MERIDIAN G68 ->analog interc...

Thanks, Al, for that detailed response. I'm in the middle of a long series of tests, trying to determine the best grounding arrangement. I will report back when the results are in.Bryon

Follow up... I bought this ethernet switch to replace my Apple Airport and it works great. But when I got around to grounding it yesterday, I discovered that there is no obvious way to ground it.I thought there would be a grounding tab on the chas...

Hey Sean - You can see a picture of some of the shields I added to the Meridian G68 here. I haven't taken a picture of the other enclosures yet.Bryon 
Anyone HEARD the qol 'signal completion' device?
I’ve just read through this thread with considerable interest. I have not heard the QOL, but from what I can tell from this thread and from the information on the BSG website, QOL is designed to accomplish something very similar to Trifield, the s...

Update… Things are winding down. Here’s what I’ve added to the system:--A total of 11 shields to the Meridian G68. Each shield is a sandwich comprised of 16 gauge copper, 22 gauge steel, and TI Shield. I placed shields around the power supply, the... 
Shielding components from EMI/RFI... Help please
My TI Shield arrived yesterday. I was thinking about placing it around the switching mode power supply in the G68. I think Kijanki warned me not to get magnetic materials too close to the power supply.Anyone know how close is too close? And what w... 
Are film capacitors directional?
Thanks, Al!!
