Grounding issues???!?!?
Don't worry!!! We've got you covered!

Our engineering department says just insert this fuzzy little guy into your audio system at the speaker terminals and.... Ok, seriously, though.
Hum! Buzz! Hiss!EMC legislation requires certain ways of designing AC power systems and this is not good news for audio systems! It leads to irritating audio gremlins that wreak havoc with your listening enjoyment. This interference is often caused by a missing Ground/Earth connection.
Banish audio gremlins!At iFi, we know how annoying the gremlins can be so we created the Groundhog. Its sole objective is to put the Ground/Earth back into your system and banish those unwanted audio pests.
All you need to do is use a standard IEC power cable to connect the Groundhog to your audio system. The Groundhog then adds back the missing Ground/Earth connection to dissipate noise. It adds proper ground protection to shield out EMI and RFI noise which in turn eliminates hiss and hum, creating a darker background
sound and higher resolution.
Our Groundhog is one multi-talented animal to provide a variety of connections to suit all audio systems.
RCA base cable – for any audio system with an unused RCA socket.
USB converter – for a computer audio system. Just connect to a spare USB port.
Spade converter – for power supplies with a DC barrel connector.
3.5mm Y-converter – for portable devices with an unused 3.5mm connection.
The retail price of the Groundhog is US$49 (ex-tax) or €59/£49 (incl VAT).

* LEGAL NOTE (iFi audio is fully aware that the first vid is indeed a gopher. We asked a groundhog to do an overly dramatic pose but he saw his shadow and ran.)
