Grounding with a Earth box?


OK so help be understand something.   I understand the value of grounding equipment, but what is the value of having a woodbox with salt, earth, minerals etc  do for grounding?  How is supposed to work or be better?

The CAD grounding box range is considered the best in class by many in the industry. Stereophile gave it a 2020 award after a couple of their staff found great results, including the often hard-to-please Michael Fremer:

I would urge people to try these CAD ground control units. The differences are very evident. I had a home demo and ended up buying two the effects were that good. 
The grounding rod to you electric service is for lightening strikes, it has nothing to do with grounding your components. 
is for lightening strikes.

ANY over current from outside your home, actually.. Transformer goes nuts..because someone hit the pole.. la te da SURGE.. :-)

methods of Earthing
  1. Plate Earthing. A 2.5 metre deep pit is dug into the ground and a Galvanised Iron (GI) plate is placed inside along with charcoal and sand for the purpose of maintain low resistance around the plate. ...
  2. pipe Earthing. ... (not code here)
  3. Rod earthing. ... (code here 8 ft rod 5/8 copper and tinned is good)
  4. Earthing through a Water Pipe. ( not code here)

Still wondering about the magnets.. and being able to slide them like a tuning fork on a Speaker IC..

For earthing ground enhancement, interesting "charcoal", and sand.

I wonder if Jersey green sand, (high in potassium and certain minerals) TMI, Trace mineral Inc. For the Earth box HERE.. Charcoal?

Regards.


invalid,  

you stated 
"The grounding rod to you electric service is for lightening strikes, it has nothing to do with grounding your components."

Perhaps you can elaborate on your comment? 

 As far as I know, the ground provides protection from high voltages and provides protection to the equipment.   If you have a direct lightning strike your out of luck regardless.

If it looks like ...
And it smell like ...
It probably is ...

I don't know how someone who has an engineering degree can write that trollop, but given his expertise is in "digital", maybe he just has no clue what he is talking about.

Oh well, people will believe anything ...
