RE: My Pleasure! How many junctions did you treat along the AC wiring?

Mojul,

To be candid, I bought CDC's recommended Chinese measuring device from Amazon and found that it never gave me the same answer twice. So I guestimated from its indications that ~0.1g was a thin amount at the end of a bag and an even thinner amount spread along the side of a bag was ~0.05g. Not satisfying to read but buy one of those devices and you may start to understand the problem...

I use bracketing (i.e. going over the top) to discover what's too much and then reduce from there. Having applied Rochelle salts to Ground (@ bottom) and Line (@side)to hear the effect on room outlets, I stripped out the sides to determine the sound contribution from Ground and by deduction Line. I then added the salts to Ground (@bottom) of room light switches.

It was clear to my ears that ~ 0.1g works without deleterious effect on Ground but ~0.05g is the max before sound degradation with Line. I then carefully applied the tweak to waste disposal/ refrigerator/ range outlets. And the result launched the tweak to a completely new level, probably because each has its own circuit and they generate much more EMF. I cannot emphasize sufficiently the disproportionate sound quality improvement from investing the extra time and trouble.

Have ended up by using Rochelle salts near the ground of every single outlet but only adding them to the side of Line with outlets of disposal/ refrigerator/ range and the AC conditioner for my music system.

No way to avoid testing levels for yourself as systems, taste, ears vary - to say nothing of measuring machines. Your time will be well spent as CDC has unquestionably given us the most valuable tweak particularly when applied to every single active circuit whether in use or not.
