Ozzy, yes it’s listed on the last page #3 under all grounding products.  Made to order at 217 vs 228 on the uk version.  
Reasons not to freak out about tube supplies
@hilde45 understand point taken…. His message isn’t the issue but but the manner in how he does it.. I took this video as  a whiney attack on tube customers character and  others. This isn’t his first rodeo posting these type of negative videos.  ... 
Reasons not to freak out about tube supplies
Whine whine whine….comes across as self promotion from a “know it all” while talking down to his  customers or no longer customers.  Better if he just stopped making these criticizing whiney videos. Maybe it’s just me but “Not a Fan”!

@bugredmachine if you don’t mind share pics and ingredient list if it works out for you.  I am planning to build a third box twice the size of my current two DIY boxes.  Intrigued by the “pull” construction.  Each speaker will have its own small b... 
Great results with NPS 1260?!
On the fuses i cover all of the metal ends.  On tubes covered pins all the way removing excess drips.

A Second Noise Floor?
@guakus Thanks…good that it broke!  Ozzy has another thread going on discussing ground boxes you might want to check out.  Good info there as  well.  He recommends solid silver 16 or 18 ga.  I’m just trying to determine if the cable makes a SQ dif... 
A Second Noise Floor?
@guakus were you able to compare whether gauge size/metal type of the wire made a difference in SQ? Or materials you added…Thanks

Very impressive box ingredient list and system Wow!  I took a much simpler tact (on my modest system) after doing limited research with positive results as well. I made 2- 6x6 boxes from scrape melamine wood. Lined inside with copper plates and co... 
What software are you running on your music server
Amarra on a Macbook.  Connects to Tidal and Qobuz.  Interface isn’t the best.  Has  a play ap for phone or ipad.  Sound quality with or without EQ is excellent better than Tidal directly if you can live with their interface.

I have found that sometimes logic doesn’t always translate to audio reality. Especially when it comes to all things in this hobby. Ozzy, completely agree...being new to this hobby for a little over a year now I am continually amazed how all sorts...

@cakyol i guess these grounding connections to a ground box solved my speaker’s grounding issues.  Loving it!   Amp and DAC don’t seem to benefit from the box's.  Crazy stuff… .

@bugredmachine i agree with your comment above on auditory improvement on a ground…UNTIL I plugged my speakers into the ground box. Gobsmacking sound improvement. Better than spending thousands of $’s on component upgrades…My ears tell me the truth!
