I’ll be applying some of the tape to the surfaces of the MCB feeding my system. I imagine shielding both sides of the mcb will help somewhat with interference from adjacent MCB’s.

Its start Matt, buit that's not going to effect the common mode or dc offest, but all these little things add up!

Has anyone treated their grounding boxes with shielding? That's a bit peculiar but it could work.
Would look a right eyesore, though!

The RFI paint might be a more elegant solution

Does a mains regenerator eliminate dc offset? It will, depending on the specific design, but it can also be affected by DC offset. I had a lot of offset in my previous house and a DC blocker helped. In my current house, it made no difference to the regenerator at all so I sold the blocker. |

We will find out later today. Thought this image may be of interest. lt's a screenshot of the MD Faraday app. lf you look at the graph,you can see my mobile in normal, then you can see the drop,when putting it into my metal container.  Screenshot_20230122-170155_MD Faraday Bag Tester by Damien Read, on Flickr Later we will see if adding the Rustins Eletrosmog paint reduces it further |

I have a small faraday pouch to keep my car keys in, to prevent scanning them from outside.
They are keyless and sometimes I forget they're in the pouch. They will not work on the car to open doors, boot or start the engine until I take them out. Very effective!

Just to say that paint is designed to be used on walls! like an undercoat, have treated many server & 'media rooms' with this style of barrier (two to three coats is nicely effective) to not sure about painting your audio boxes with it though, well if it works for you, and thats all that matters to you then fill yer boots  Some years ago we delevoped our highly concentrated version for specific applications on an areospace project we were working on and it does find its way into a product or two or ours from time to time.
Sheilding bag for the keys, known about this one for while great touch keeping the low lives in check, now all is required is 100Kv to the nads in 'short controlled bursts'
You can purchase dedicated sheilding tents for EMI/RFI testing which are collapsable we have some of those for on site work, with routers though actually think about what range of frequencies you are wishing to control and why? BUT remember if you are using 5Ghz as a channel to connect then cafefull how you go aboput this.
Keep up the good work chaps.

Fro, I was curious about the DV2 so I accquired one, not to shabby at all I would say it splits the Rossini & Vivaldi with more musicality. Its not to bad at all, better with files than streaming although I did use both a Takio & Aurender to great effect with it. Get's Clocks's seal of approval  |

I have had a PPA quad for two years and so it is well settled. I also have a Waversa WRouter and a Waversa Core. Both of the Waversas are also switches. Some of the Waversa sockets are battery powered. As well I have SoTM and Melco swicthes. All switches are active in my network. The SQ results are worthwhile

Small tweak that cost me nothing since I have some extra footers around. Perfect support for my Omega power cord! (The reflection looks like 6, but it's only 3 footers)

Thought about supporting the IEC
What differences do you hear ?
