Grounding Sheets

[Tom O]

And don’t forget the benefits of picking your nose it improves your aim and puts a smile on your face!
You too can amaze friends and family!
PS Say Hallelujah and put a dollar in the box..

Best nights sleep I have is outdoors.

Grounding yourself is worth a try, nothing to lose. Not sure i'd be plugging into the ring main though - to a rod in the ground outside sure.

They walk amongst us.

Easy to spot though, they're the ones with no shoes and socks.

Don't forget those with sandals and socks.

That's double insulation, no earth continuity there.

Not necessarily...

Im sure we ground ourselves enough during the day,

Thinking of attaching one of these to each ankle. Above the sock line of course:

For all the sceptics have a look at this:

There's a bonus peek of Rebecca's "skin rash" about 49s in

Let me know how it ends.

For all the sceptics have a look at this:

I was and still am convinced that your belief claim was tongue in cheek. I am beginning to have my doubts now? Someone with your intellect couldn't possibly be prone to such utter nonsense.

I used to have a folder on my browser titled Bogus Crap, USB "dongles" that take away harmful radiation, all sorts. I added some Hi-Fi snake oil stuff too, those £1,200 RCA cable interconnects that you so need along with special "quantum technology" HDMI lead, £400.
Pretty sure there must be a market for stuff to protect you from the Bill Gates harmful mind control rays emitted by 5G technology, or special glasses to shield you from LED street lighting. None of it is as bad as the scumbag that was selling utterly useless "bomb detectors", worse still the people who bought them.
I know people who buy into this crud, it is sad.

There is a labyrinth of audiofoolery out there as well you might know. I never argue with those that discuss increasing the silver content in solder or having special wire from the distribution board directly to their audio gear, along with special fuses of course. It all sits nicely with the fibre tip pen coating on the edge of the CD, or the special crystals.
I did not check to see if the fuses have a direction arrow for orientation.

"Grounding is essential in our daily lives. Without it, electrical appliances could overheat and explode due to imbalanced electrons."

That imbalance would explain why my double insulated power tool never cuts straight.

My regular and ill advised afternoon drinking is possibly responsible for my wandering cuts. I used to think it was bad chi orientation in my workshop and that I needed to call in an expert who might advise to place a tank with 3 black fish in a certain position in the workshop. It looked to be a pricy proposition so I ignored the problem and continued to drink beer in the afternoons.

From reading that thread, it seems that many do. How that ties in with AC I can't fathom.

That is because you are "not in the know" (not part of the snake oil believer pyramid of fools). If I owned one of those Chinese custom PCB manufacturing facilities I would definitely have a special selection button to specify "electron friendly directional" tracks for preamplier boards and why not even amplifier boards with the same on the output tracks of big MOSFET transistors.

I think that my favourite is the set of little wooden bridges to suspend your 'speaker cables on, to prevent them from touching the floor.

Brings back happy memories of mopping spat out beer from my laptop keyboard while laughing like a drain.

Here is an otherwise respectable brand... https://community.naimaudio.com/t/cable-risers-can-improve-sq/22949

One snippet: I use Audioquest cable risers under my Chord Epic X speaker cable and I can easily hear an improvement in clarity - blacker silences.

I deleted my Bogus Crap folder because I wasted too much time trying to find the most ridiculous claims, also it cost me two YouTube accounts because my comments broke the community rules. I am racking my brain trying to recall the name of the English bloke who was peddling crystals and other wizardry to improve the sound from your already high-end gear, he was lengendary.
