I swapped my DAC and my other half didn't notice.
Admittedly it's quite a bit smaller!

John do you have spare connections on your RTZ you can use to compare to the other grounding boxes

Just a quick update on what I am doing for grounding
On Mt spur which feeds the DAC and Behringer I have 3 grounding boxes wired into the mains which feeds the Temples
On the ring main I have 2 grounding boxes
I have the RTZ on the Gustard A22 DAC
What it does is allow the system to sound more natural and real It's definitely OTt but results are the key

I'm not far off that now, John.
Mains
Silent Point large grounding box at the consumer unit
Quartz Acoustic grounding box at the P10 regenerator
Digital Components
SGS-1 grounding box at the router
BR Eflos grounding box at the EtherREGEN
Aucharm grounding box at the ultraRendu
SGS-1s grounding box at the Mutec
Quartz Acoustic grounding box at the Gustard
At some point I may buy another Aucharm for the ER to replace the BR. If I can find a convenient way to ground the P3 regenerator I'll buy another Quartz Acoustic for it.

John do you have spare connections on your RTZ you can use to compare to the other grounding boxes I found that just having the RTZ connected to the DAC gave me the best results I have 3 connections Coaxial out USB out and AES in. The last 2 have the most noticeable improvements and it does not mind multiple connections from one source. I think iy best not to mix with other devices to get the best out of it I used to have the DAC and Mutec running off it and to be honest it seemed to cope well with this. But looking at where I am now I think I was holding things back |

If I wanted to I could try the RTZ on the mains and the 3 grounding boxes in the Gustard but life is to short for this

When I started I was happy to see the RTZ with multiple connections, but I only have the 2 items to connect
D1000 being CD, Pre and DAC
No streamer in the mix

Tony runs quite a few units from his RTZ Whatever you do don't mix with mains earth
The RTZ 3 is good as you know

No intention of mixing mains earth with ground plane earth

Something has happened.
Either the Silent point boxes have settled over very many days or the Quartz recently connected by croc clip to the outer RCA of the always on Tivo has made a difference

How many boxes do John and MartinT have connected directly to the earth, either croc clipped, plugged into a mains socket. or other ? I have 2 doing very well. |

5 boxes to mains Spur that feeds digital system 3 boxes Ring mains that supplies to the Monos 2 boxes
1 box to the Gustard A22 using USB and AES connections to the RTZ

What do you think of plugging more into the mains ?

I had some serious mains issues that I knew better groundung would help so think my sitiuation is a bit unique so no idea if you benefit.

I'd like to get one into the P3 regenerator but I have no spare socket so will have to nobble a Coherent cable by feeding a ground cable into the plug.
