Snake oil of the year?

 

better grounding, or cleaner grounds can fix a lot of the impression of ’grunge’ in some digital based audio systems. Not always, but it can happen.

same for purely analog systems. the ground and it’s qualities can be and is important. This can be a problem in apartments, high rises, places with bad grounding dry grounds around the house in situ, or dried out oxidized ground rods, etc.

@teo_audio How do planes and satellites work then?
They do not have access to ground rods, and many seem to use use digital systems.

Nope.

Snake oil of the century is 6 feet of mains cable costing $5k that does nothing that a 20amp stock cable can't do.

@clearthinker And another $5k box to hook the grounds up to?

I might start a company and call it “hallowed ground.”

Or 'shallow ground'?

A good network switch can and does make a Audible improvement 

for example the Uptone Audio Ether regen  at $630  it absolutely works with many reviews , much better still is the Synergistic research Ethernet switch and power cord $2k. Is pretty steep  but makes Avery nice improvement in fidelity 

I currently have the uptone I may go with a Quality Ethernet to fiber optic like Sonore .very good digital cost $$ ,just as a good turntable does.
