I have experimented in the past with Linn Klimax gear (DS/KK) by altering the torques on the circuit boards and the grounding bolt - it does actually make quite a large difference (decent improvements can be made and a few dealers make use of these tricks) and Linn are one of many manufacturers who don't seem to use accurate torque settings on the fasteners on their device innards. The torque of the bolt which has the earth connection to the chassis/case makes quite a large difference on the Linn and I really think the Entreq stuff is solving some of the problems with conductivity between earth and chassis ground and circuit boards. Funny that the Linn owners don't seem to have taken to Entreq much.
Devialet don't seem to be quite so dependent on grounding via the chassis/case but there's probably still some element of it happening which again may explain why Entreq seems to be effective.
