@pixelphoto. I am curious to try...:) If I may ask...what areas sonically did BGT enhance in your system? I am most curious on it's effects of tonal balance esp between treble and bass. Thanks.

So I am late to this game but very intrigued. I have a question.
Using my preamp as an example. If it has a star grounding system and the chassis is included at one point then the RCA grounds should have continuity with the chassis. Could I hook up the BGT to a screw on the chassis for results similar to piggybacking it on an RCA ground?
I realize that I can try this for myself and hope to do that within a few days but was just wondering if someone else had already explored that path.
Thanks a lot!

pc123v, for my hearing and my audio system the BGT with cap brought more clarity and dynamic sound. The bass tightened up and the treble became much smoother, more detail, more music. For video more depth, a little like Three D. Colors are more saturated but not outrageous. Its simple enough to assemble one yourself. Do it and hear for yourself. It's the only way you'll know what it will do for your system. Do some reading using the posted links in this thread.
Try it you'll like it!
pixelphoto, have you tried 100,000uf or two of your 47,000 uf for 97,000uf on your video/digital system as suggested by "unclestu" with the 0.15uf polystyrene bypass cap?
A quote from unclestu;
"For video several caveats. Video and digital signals translate to frequencies ( not steady state) well above the analog bandwidth. Placing your set up on analog will generally make things unbearably bright (IMHE).
I still use a single 9V battery but I up the capacitance considerably. I run about 100,000 uF plus a bypass cap for video and digital components. I use about 50,000 uF for analog plus a larger bypass cap. A 100,000 uF does slow things down a bit but the black levels increase dramatically. I have noted that you need a bypass cap. For video, a small value film cap works well: .1 or .15 uF, polystyrene work well. Sometimes I parallel two of them and you can see the additional zip in the color. You can assess bypass caps by remembering which ones added a lot of brightness n an analog system: those will work well with video/digital signals."

ipdtt, I sure did. I now have two separate 9 v batteries with one 47000f cap each plus bypass cap attached to the widescreen. This morning I plugged in another for a total of 141,000uf. The results are more of the same; a absolutely gorgeous image.
On the audio system I have a six volt battery plus one 47000uf cap + bypass cap attached to my little Qinpu A-6000 MKII intergrated amp. Earlier today Etta James found her love in my living room. She was right there in person.
Thank you pixelphoto.
