Hi Aupiho,
Sorry, my fault. I realised I could have been clearer in my writing.
What I meant to say is that in my system with the Entreq Tellus and Minimus, the BGT tweak has a much smaller effect. This was also my experience in using other ground devices such as the Acoustic Revive RGC-24 and the Audioprism Ground Control.
If I take out the Entreq from the system, then the differences with and without the BGT are quite obvious.
The BGT is not able to approach the effect of the Tellus, Minimus and the matching solid silver cables, but bear in mind that for $10-20, the BGT can provide results that can maybe achieve 30-40 % of the Tellus.
You can't really go wrong with the BGT for the price, although I did find that you must experiment with the amount of capacitance to get the right tonal balance.
The Tellus and Minimus really improve the 3-D effect of a system and improvement of resolution all round. In comparison, the BGT at lower values adds a smoothness and blackness to the system. To add extra pop and high frequency definition, you need to increase the capacitance. I made this for a friend by building the circuit in a small plastic box, and terminated with a speaker cable binding post (so that he could use any cable he wanted). He said that the cable is critical, and he got much better results using a solid core silver cable, compared to the copper solid core cable I provided to him.
