Ground zero? I cut my dose of G vitamin back to two so the RJ45/USB types. The former plugged one Ethernet link into each LAN distributor; the latter both of its USB feeds into my iMac. That left one of Apple's USB quad for my SSD drive, the other as output into my Singxer bridge. On the far end of the same system, I wired up the Mini GNR v5.1 to the 250W mono chassis as shown. By unplugging both or either front/back treatment, I had a 4-stage comparison: without Telos; with just G; with just GNR; with G + GNR. I'd be ready for a G+T afterwards.

Bring on the cocktail. My money is on front-end G. If I could only add a single Macro, it'd undoubtedly be USB since for local files, I turn off my cascaded network switches to be safely offline. No need for any RJ45 silencing then. With my iMac outputting USB for local and cloud files alike, getting that waystation spit-shined was my ticket. It already gave me a full hit of musical sunshine as though, again, I'd bolted on a premium pair of super tweeters to Qualio's IQ speakers. To be more repetitive, this really was unexpected. I'd steadfastly resisted investigating ground-noise solutions. That potential domino had cemented in hot glue. Now it had fallen. Being able to isolate the effect across various junctions, one fallen domino simply didn't mean having to trigger an entire avalanche. For my ears, the Macro G potency exceeds that of the Mini GNR v5.1. That's the range I'd start with then. Simply pick the model whose plugs suit your needs. I just wish Telos weren't such fans of flashing lights; or at least gave us a black-out option. Geez. To conclude, ground noise really is a thing of sonic consequence¹. It simply happens to be so deeply ingrained in our sound that we're utterly oblivious to it until something minimizes it to demonstrate a difference. In all three of my systems, that difference factored; and always in the same fashion. I found that telling and irrefutable like the earlier-linked video. Watching it I simply hadn't the faintest how it might translate sonically. Now I do. Old dog. New trick. Woof and wagging tail.

PS: To reiterate a promise Telos made already, going forward they'll be putting extra emphasis on better documenting and explaining how their solutions work to minimize the 'voodoo' angle and maximize the 'science' aspects. Also, this effect was just as obvious over headfi where my HifiMan Susvara were as responsive to the top-end cleaning job as the Qualio IQ speakers.

¹ It's like our trash bins and toilets. Daily we flush shite down our loos, weekly or bi-weekly a garbage truck whisks away our household's refuse. Out of sight, out of mind. That's until we make a personal dump run to our local landfill; or have a specialized truck vacuum out our septic tank. Now we literally see and smell how all of it goes somewhere and continues to have an effect. It doesn't just vanish into thin air. In fact selling garbage is big business. I've been told that some of our Irish refuse sells by seagoing container to Scandinavia where hi-tech incinerators that cause no toxic fumes process it. Is that just another tall Irish tale? If so, ground noise most assuredly is not. Shunting unwanted noise to ground as though there it had no effect like an out-of-mind landfill isn't the answer.

PS2: According to Roy Gregory of gy8.eu, Magico's global Paris launch of their M7 speaker used a system which included the Telos Silver Grounding Monster and Power Monster. It's not outrageous to think that in their specialized sector, Telos of Taiwan are considered to be one of the best.

Telos comment: Hi Srajan, I like the way you express yourself. "We never know what we don't know until a new discovery changes things up…" and "ground noise is a real thing" and "Telos have a cure to a disease I didn't know I suffer". The blinking LED and cabling indeed are a headache. Noted. Thanks for mentioning the M7 speaker launch in Paris. It did generate some attention for our Monster Power and GNR. Your pros and cons are all fair but it's good that you recognized the functionality. We actually put far more modules into our Monster series. Would you like to do a review on those? They would take more space to install as they're quite big products." Ethan
