YES, AND ITS TOXIC, ALWAYS WEAR A SUITABLE MASK IF YOU MUST USE THIS MAGNETITE ! I have now stopped using this and prefer a grounding box from one of the UK manufacturers anyway .

They are passive, the mains cable leading to the unit is only connected to the ground At the wall. On the signal ground solutions website they advise to experiment trying both.

Well Tripoint is chassis ground !

Why not just RCA it’s shorter and everyone understands, where does cinch come from .

No, sorry that is not what I mean. Having an ancillary connected via 2 ground boxes mains and signal ground separately still benefits rather than one ground box ? Say mains only or signal only. Have you tried chassis ground separately rather than signal.

no. So the same ancillary you are connected to the signal like this, are you also benefiting from a ground box via the mains as well With a grounding box, so you have two connected to the same ancillary.

Chinch?

Instead of connecting to the ground pin of the xlr, have you tried connecting to the negative on the xlr, the same as RCA connector ?

Not with genuine Furutech though.

If you file harder you will go through the copper plating and expose the brass base metal , just like the RCA connectors !
