RE: Ground filter with a dedicated grounding rod

I think the ground post on the inverter is just for protection.....so would not make sense to ground it to its own ground rod. My friend with the Giandel has a separate ground rod for his entire stereo.....and the entire stereo has nothing to do with the house ground.....the wire from ground rod goes to the Puritan ground filter and at that point everything is grounded to it.

I just spoke to him.....The wiring on the Giandel (as shown on my site) is not what he is currently using. Right now he has no ground connection to the chassis. He is going to put the wire back on and see if it changes the sound. Also, the "ground wire" coming out of the Giandel terminal strip is not needed as there is nothing connected to that terminal inside the Giandel.

His sound is so incredible for 3 reasons..

1. Super inverter power
2. Puritan filter which filters noise made by the inverter and also separates and filters noise in each component....so no noise interaction of components
3. Separate ground rod and ground filter for the stereo.....this grounds optimally and gets rid of noise on the ground line.

There is no reason you cannot use a Puritan (or two) to power your entire system.....It handles tons of current. No limitation using his big JC-1+ amps. if you need more outlets then you can wire some dublexes into the Puritan....however, those outlets would share filtering and not be quite as good.

I you go to what's best forum and search "oeno"...(my friends name there)....you will see posts of him talking about the inverter system, etc.

You want to make sure you have disconnected the charger cable from the batteries when you listen.......even if the charger is off and unplugged it will still mess up the sound if its wires are connected to the batteries....My friend disconnects using the Anderson connector that comes with the charger.
