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.

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!

You're very welcome 🙂 Others here have done the same for me, so I'm paying it forward.

On the RCA end of the UG, you want to treat the collar (which is the ground) not the center pin, and you only need to treat the third (ground) pin of the AC plug.
