Thanks for your reply.
I am familiar with the concept of ground loops, but the information about the frequency selective signal return paths is new to me.
I will have a good look at your gallery in the hope of learning more.
I can't help but get the feeling that Merrill and Jakob don't want us to dismiss even this stuff without providing our means of gaining evidence.
So much better than a pile of dirt!
Better at extracting money from the gullible and/or ignorant, that is. Now someone will pop up and demand that we prove by carefully controlled listening tests (with positive controls and trained listeners and careful statistics) that this box does not work as a useful electrical audio component.
It is a sad reflection on our modern education system that people are taken in by this alchemy.

I assume they put quotes around "clean" to disassociate themselves from the boxes of dirt.
How best to explain..
Imagine you are a heart surgeon, one in need of heart surgery.
You go see a doc and ask him to detail the operation he is going to perform on you.
He proceeds to embellish his procedure with made up phrases using disjointed descriptions obviously taken from google hits from wacky websites. While the words by themselves have meaning, he has put them together in a way that makes absolutely no sense.
Now, as a practicing heart surgeon, what do you do? Let him open you up? I mean, you don't really know if his operation will work unless you try, right?
I personally have experience with grounding design and application for some very small and some very large machines that have a large range of currents, voltages, signals...
Let's just say, the descriptors given by the vendor have no meaning nor context with respect to what I do for a living, and I'm pretty good at what I do.
So, no, what they describe cannot work, and I'm pretty confident.

Kip Thorne and Rai Weiss signed a copy of their Nobel paper for me, I wonder what would happen if I put that in the freezer.
