Making a mains cable with only the earth wired to the plug using a decent shielded and screened cable with the other end terminated with whatever connector you need seems to work.
Much cheaper than grounding boxes.
I did wonder about that.
I'll give it a go.

A newbie question. What does a Grounding box do? I've not heard of these.

You can't change how people treat you or what they say about you. All you can do is change how you react to it.

Owston should be a good place to try some grounding devices.

I'm glad you asked! (I was too ashamed too...)

Luckily, I have no sense of shame!
Ta for the link Dave (B). It seems like they're supposed to be a ground 'noise' sink of some sort. Totally passive.

I confess I couldn't make head nor tail of it. The way it's written smacks of classic snake oil salesmanship, but hey what do I know.
