Synergistic Research Galileo SX Power cord. (Opinions on sound quality appreciated).

I had Atmosphere Level III Euphoria and when using the pigtail to my ground there was only a very small improvement. A little less grain and grunge, not much. What I mean, I hear more improvement in the first 5 minutes playing a record. 

This was grounding it to my star ground. My system is kind of unusual with 240V stepped down to 120V and the whole system being on a ground rod driven into the ground under the house just below the system. Ted is real adamant there should be a huge improvement with the pigtail, but equally insistent it must be grounded to a regular house outlet and not a power conditioner. Sounds like that is what you did, and even so the pigtail is not that big an improvement? Grounded to what? Are you using one of his Grounding Blocks?

millercarbon,
It is odd but there is a big change with or without the pigtail.
Without, the soundstage widens but is not as focused as with the pigtail connected. Images sound very focused and 3D like. It also seemed to improve with more hours, but that could be due to the Power cord getting more hours of AC.

I am grounding the pigtail directly to an outlet on the same wall duplex plug circuit that my Niagara 7000 is plugged into.

I also have my Lumin X1 connected up to my Entreq grounding box. This is not a AC ground, but a signal ground from one of the unused Lumin rca’s

off topic. Guys is there diffrence in sound between these Galileo UEF and newer  SX? I can get good price on UEF

Very informative thread here. Is there an audible difference between the SR ground vs. Entreq ? Interesting combination being utilized in your system to be sure.

Happy Listening!

jafant,
Yes there is. 
The SR as I mentioned, sharpens the soundstage. While the Entreq (which is connected only to my Lumin X1) adds more weight to the sound. I have actually built additional DIY versions of the Entreq and use them separately on my amps and speakers. But that's another story.
