Using Rochelle salt to absorb EMI from your homes AC line to supercharge your audio system performance

Fellow audiophiles, it has been a bit since I posted here. But this is way too good not to share it. I found a way to lower EMI noise across the AC line in our homes using Rochelle salt. Very easy to DIY and costs like $20 to treat your entire home. The sonic performance increase is astounding, and it can be used to tune your system. I posted the entire DIY in a Head-Fi thread I am the main contributor. The thread is called "DIY Ground Box", but really is a thread focused on lowering noise within the system.

For about a year now I have been focused and obsessed on lowering system noise whether it is signal ground or AC earth ground. Mostly inspired by Entreq, CAD and similar companies. Then from experimenting with ground box ground cables and component generated noise, I came into this tweak. I do not know of a retail option or anyone else mentioning what is in this DIY.

This tweak is absolutely the lowest effort, lowest cost, to highest performance tweak I have experienced in 25+ years in this hobby. The entire DIY post is large. I just wanted to make it available to audiophiles here, my old stomping grounds. I cannot remember the rules if I can post a link. So here is a link to the direct post, if that is not cool then I could copy and paste the entire post. Just let me know... Peace
