Grounding cable gauge size
For those of you using external grounding source devices, units such as Entreq, Nordost, Synergistic, etc. What size wire gauge seems to work the best?

Some day I would love to try these Grounding cables out! (Scroll down to the bottom of the page to see info on their new "Ghost" Grounding cables. Grounding cable “Ghost” 1,5 m - 4 750 Euro We do customize your grounding cables according yours specific needs, all sort of connectors are available. Yes I do use their PSD and find it to be absolutely stunning in performance. (Dealer disclosure) |
The Bricasti dac I use does not connect the outer shell of the RCA's and XLR's to the power ground pin on the power cable. So they are only signal grounds.
On my amp, the case, XLR's and power input ground pin are all the same, so there is no chance of having a signal-only "ground" unless my device is a dead end box with magic crystals and does not connect to ground.
Ozzy, have you put your ohmmeter across the rca's of your sub and the power pin of the iec for the power cable? If there is a short, then the RCA's are connected to ground via the power cable. In that case, trying to connect the grounding box to a outlet ground would create a loop. |
@bugredmachine in checking my DAC’ s ground wiring it’s IEC ground is connected to a chassis connection and from there a ground wire connects to circuit board. No direct wires from the chassis ground to RCA or XLR’s. Is this considered a signal ground similar to your DAC? Thanks again. |
