Which does a better job of grounding your system Entreq products or Shunyata Altaira ?

. . . as grounding your system can make an audible difference in many systems.

+1 I’ve been experimenting with different grounding approaches for a long time.

In my experience, it didn’t pay off until the power to my system was totally cleaned up. Before then, grounding revealed the electrical noise/hash and made the SQ worse. After cleaning up the power, I was quite surprised at how ground wires of different metallurgies and construction affected the SQ. I’m currently using solid core copper magnet wire - as a substitute for the thin stranded wiring that came with my Synergistic Research cables.

The Shunyata Altaira has received excellent reviews. It has a novel method in the way it treats signal ground vs chassis ground. As Ozzy has pointed out, a trial period is a great thing.

I have a Dayton Audio SA1000 amp for my subwoofers. It has a known hum issue in some systems - including mine. The hum disappeared when I grounded the chassis to a DIY Entreq box. Recently, I grounded the chassis of my SS Class A amp to the same DIY box. This amp didn’t have a hum problem, but I was curious to hear what would happen. The SQ improved once again.

Everything matters.

……thank you and through my conversations it seems the Entreq is more widely accepted than the Shunyata which is also very good 

OP, have you considered Synergistic Research or CAD grounding products as well?  Both reportedly make notable improvements.

……thank you and never thought of CAD. I personally would never do business with Synergistic but that is my cross to bear. Will look into CAD…..

……bought a Faber’s Power Grounding Box. This company is located in Italy and was wonderful to deal with and a great product and a better price . Listened to a few grounding boxes and I own the TriPoint Thor Signature and love it on my amp and pre-amp but really like the Faber’s Power on my front end digital. Take a look at this company as I do not think there are any dealers here in the US but their grounding box is very good . So my search is over and ended up with what I think a better product and price .
