“Ground” is one half of the signal that your HiFi is attempting to reproduce with accuracy and realism. It is the part that the other half, the “hot” signal, needs to rigidly reference to, in order to create a truly accurate and fully detailed sound stage.
 
Grounds between components should be at zero volts with no voltages present (noise). However cables, metal cases and tone arms all act as antenna for noise, collecting it from the air and by capacitive and inductive coupling with other cables, internal circuits and components within equipment.
 
The most expensive cartridges, DACs, pre amps, and amplifiers cannot deliver a truly faithful performance if the “ground” is moving, shaking and wobbling with the noise that is perpetually present on every ground line.
 
The Puritan Silencer is designed as an additional connection link between HiFi / AV components.
 
Utilising the acclaimed technologies developed for the GroundMaster City and City Ultra products, Silencer provides an alternative route for undesirable ground currents; a complex internal structure firstly absorbs and then neutralises, by converting to harmless heat, the noise voltages present across all frequency bands..
 
Connection of the silencer can be from chassis to chassis, signal ground to signal ground, tone- arm ground to pre-amp ground and appropriate cables are available for all eventualities.
 
Silencer is a part of a family of Puritan products that comprehensively address all aspects relating to the control of ground line noise. It may be used on its own or to compliment and reinforce the actions of GroundMaster, Groundmaster City, GroundMaster City Ultra and RouteMaster products.
