The second UG on The SPDIF output of my CD transport has definitely made further improvements. The sound of voices and instruments is weightier, more solid. Individual lines are easier to follow in complex music. Performances are more fleshed out, more real. Very nice!
GutWire Ultimate Grounding Cable
With the recent reviews, and positive reports from a couple of members here, I decided to take the plunge and order one.

Like others I have been intrigued by the positive reviews for grounding blocks from various companies, but the prices are prohibitive. I decided to spend the extra $100 for the Ultimate over the Perfect as both reviews say it offers significant improvement. I am planning on plugging it into an unused RCA input on my Antique Sound Labs autoformer passive pre. I'll post updates after I get it, and have broken it in.

Treating the Ultimate Ground with Total Contact contact enhancer definitely brings even more improvement, right away, at least in my system. I'll have to wait a bit to see if gets even better over time, as reported by others. https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/new-tweak-its-fantastic |
I've been trying to find reasons to return the UG. I kept saying to myself the difference is minimum and not worth the money. However, music becomes disengaged every time I disconnect the UG from my system. With the UG, it's more musical, 3D, let you get into music and forget about the sound. When I unplugged it, things still sound the same but it's flat and not fun to listen to anymore. Therefore, I am keeping the UG. Last but not least, thank you for your recommendation Tommylion! |
