Too bad you’re a doubter Rex. I found a big difference with vinyl as well. I don’t think anyone has stated that this device is limited to the digital side of one’s system. They aren’t. The only one perhaps is the LAN Protecter. These are truly “system changers”
It’s wonderful, Steve, that these products have such a system-changer improvement on your already great system.
At the same time, measuring the effects of devices such as these can be interesting and maybe elucidating to this fascinating tech based hobby. The more we learn about things like RF and the influences on sq the better for everyone in this pursuit.
I totally agree. Perhaps you can do the measurements and report back. I wouldn’t know where or how to start. My enjoyment now comes from listening. I was the biggest skeptic about these devices. Now I can’t have my system playing without them being a part of my system.
Though there are still some questions about how to use it properly. From what I know it’s not advicesed to plug the Grid Potector into a power conditioner. Though some report they experienced better results with the Gryphon Powerzone when plugged into one of those slots.
And obviously within 30cm reach there is an additional benefit to RFI/EMI reduction. So it should be placed near the power supply or cables - so likely behind the rack where all this stuff comes together?

????????? I many times don't read what people say if I don't like them either. Hopefully someone has a RF meter and will measure the room. As well as evaluate hum with vinyl.

My EMI and GRID are at my front wall just inside either speaker and behind my amps. FWIW the EMI protector comes with the standard size antenna and with one about 3 times the length for larger rooms. I think people are reading too much into these devices. AFAIK they are not meant to be used with power conditioners. Perhaps Gideon might comment.
Good morning.
Having been with Schnerzinger in North America for 10 years, I have to convey that setup is nuanced with equipment/venue specific and subjective listening elements thrown in. It’s important to try and approach with an understanding that the instructions are a blueprint and a guide only. In local installs where I can setup personally, the client and I go through various sequences to lock in, where it stays.

It seems this device is projecting something into the air. I have no idea what. My assumptipn is its almost like a swarm sub. Your modulating the RF waves in the air and trying to flatten them.
If in the most basic sense this is correct, then placement might be critical. Since the waves are so small, minute changes could matter. The sender is only so powerful, so location would matter too.
If it is demodulating RF, I am curious the affect on vinyl. I get a lot of calls from people with hum noise related to RF coupling to their equipment chassis creating hum. Could this help. I even have people with Lampizator DAC asking for assistance with hum. I believe RF is coupling to tubes in the power supply.
Again, does the Grid Protector help in this area of concern.
In GIN’s install above, he and I optimized a Grid and EMI with his Wilson’s and MSB based system. The analog flow and ease which we were able to achieve was incredibly rewarding. The balance attainable from both the Grid and EMI, through trial and error, is really worth the effort!
