Jim,
I am using an ordinary AC plug with just the ground wire connected. Then that wire is connected with a 4mm banana to the SR grounding block. There are no special features with the grounding block just copper with all the grounding leads plugged into it. I have just about everything including video components connected to the block. It will accept 18 leads. Imagine buying all of those leads from SR at about $450 each... gulp!
Too me, its a very useful and sonic addition. I think I got it for about $300 used.
I have never tried the Active SR ground block it just seems a little too pricey for me.

ozzy,
Thanks for the reply.
So your grounding block does not have the "active components inside"?
Does the safety equipment ground connect directly to the ground bar on the block?
It appears I need to rethink my understanding of the safety equipment ground.
Al, (almarg),
If you are following this thread, why is the safety equipment ground having any influence on the SQ of the audio system when connected to the grounding block? Especially if it is solidly connected to the ground bar of the block. If that is the case all the signal grounds of the audio equipment is then connected directly to the chassis of cord and plug connected equipment that uses the safety equipment ground.
