Audio components aren't perfect because they generate RFI/EMI into the air. If the metal chassis is closed it reflects back the noise into the motherboard and interferes with the audio signal. There's a lot of noise reflecting back and forth inside the case and in the motherboard. The house ground wiring isn't good enough to remove this noise, you need something more powerful with lower resistance. This is why GroundHanger was born. The scattered RFI inside the chassis will enter the GroundHanger where it's cleaned. This gives a noise free motherboard and clearer audio signal.

Have you measured this noise, or are you merely hypothesizing? For someone with a questionable scientific background you make some pretty hefty claims. And those include your ability to hear differences in glues and 1/100th of a gram of "material".
I have measured this with my ears. 5 years ago I did a lot of experimentation with ERS Paper, see video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=deW6WPq-d00After I covered the inside of the chassis with ERS Paper I got a drier sound, I didn't like it at first so it definitely made a difference, I wanted to remove it but couldn't because I used ERS with adhesive backing in some places. After a while I got used to the sound and it sounded good. The transients were hairier and there was more resolution. To compensate for the warmer/greyer sound I disconnected conductors from Nordost Valhalla cables to make it brighter and edgier, I used only 1 conductor from the Litz wire, it increased microdetail and blackness. But the problem was that multiple colorations were added to the system which I had to compensate for by adding other tweaks, it never stopped and I was never satisfied with the sound.
Now I use stock cables and no tweaks other than Coconut-Audio, and I get better sound than ever. It's perfecty synergized too because there are no colored devices in the system.

I have no time to view another, what I can only expect to be, agonizingly slow and confusing video. Must be nice having golden ears. But no matter how good your hearing is, you will never be able to "measure" anything with your hearing. You can only perceive a change. There is nothing quantifiable about hearing, unless it gets tested by an audiologist. And rest assured that your hearing is not sensitive enough to hear a difference when glue accidentally makes it's way to a cable sheath.
