I have the same grounding tube on my PLC, high five.

I have one my master clock output and dac input (neutral) too. Waiting to be upgraded with 1.5kg boxes. The tubes will then go on the dac analog outputs. Looking forward to it.
Looking forward to hearing your impressions.

I really hope it doesn't make that much of a difference so I don't have to get one but considering how much of a difference that tube made, a 1.5kg box will probably be very impactful.

Which ones are you going with Fred?

I've had these 2kg Quartz Acoustics ones highly recommended, just waiting till after the summer holidays (down here in the Antipodes) before maybe getting some.

So many to choose from. A few people have tested them in the aliexpress cable thread with great results, I haven't seen that particular one though, just some unbranded variations of it.

I got them on ali.
I've got an SGS-1, Silent Point and an Aucharm.
Maybe will try a Quartz Acoustics next year.

Is there any difference between them?

Does one perform better than another?

Pics?

I'm very interested in these grounding boxes.

I've only heard the SGS-1 in my full system.
Initial thoughts:
Smooth is one way of describing it.
My system has lost its digital sound over the last few months, with the grounding box moving it even further from that.

Will get to putting it all together next year, with the Silent Point and Aucharm in. Will use them on my streamer, Dac and DDC.

On WBF, someone thought the SGS-1 was not as good as others (although is the cheapest of their range).

Got a 3kg silent point here and two Aucharms coming in on Monday.

Right. In your setup it will be unused.

Answering your question in the other thread: connect your clock source both to DDC and a DAC, you need two BNC cables to do so.
