[QUOTE="chrisc, post: 1101640, member: 746"] I was surprised when speaking to this highly qualified electronics fellow who expressed the opinion that an earth mat was an excellent idea, then in the next breath said he had used 12 earth spikes! He did mention that the end result was a low relative earth resistance so it achieved a similar result. Knowing him quite well, and his Scots heritage, I suspect he got the earth spike for nothing which must have influenced his decision to use spikes in lieu of a mat. I was in his workshop some time ago and saw a box of these spikes in a cupboard. No doubt left over from an over-quoted job and at R100 a pop, a reasonable saving. Sound improvement would not have been the motive here, he does not listen to music. More likely renovating an old house [/QUOTE]
