I have been reading a bit about ground boxes. Why did you think you needed one? And what did it do for you?
Orrr.... were you just kidding and you didnt buy one at all? I am so confused and alone after reading all those reviews and comments...please help me out!
Well, NO I didn't feel I needed one.
Just as you probably did I was searching the web for inexpensive tweaks to improve the sound of my system.
This quest was somewhat enhanced by the lack of news about the MP.
Since I already own all possible masturbative tools one can hope to have I stumbled over the ground box.
A ground box is typical a device that does absolutely nothing in an electronic sense so you can pin it everywhere in your system without any risk.
It's a box full of inert Schiit which could pick up an overload if it got out the ground side of your system and convert it into heat.
Some people believe it improves sound by rerouting and converting evil ghosts that live in your system.
An exorcism if you wish.
Now as I was cleaning out Constanzas Schittr and listening to some ABBA I remembered I had an empty system housing, lots of cable and some copper sheet.
So C and I looked at each other in that blinding moment of knowledge falling into place which you can only have with your closest partner and got to work.
We isolated the inside of the case, soldered an old se cables ground to the copper sheet and the other end to the ground of an old plug.
Signal was completely cut off.
Now we frumbled the copper plate into the case, filled it up with cat litter (Constanza only accepts silica gel) and filled the remaining space with epoxy resin.
The only thing that remains is a sexy spritzz of chromium paint and Bob's our uncle.
And the sound? Well after a few days of testing it keeps getting better and better.
Just like any other existing, speculated of and announced Schiit product, we cannot understand how to live without it.
