Grounding cable gauge size

Thank you Ozzy for trying this stuff and reporting your results, I think it was you that put me onto the Puritan power filiters which continue to wow me.

Just read an Analog Corner article from Nov 2021 on electrical wiring that I thought might interest:

Thank you. It is refreshing to be able to post on audiogon without the various crazies chiming in.

Yes, the ground of your AC IEC can be the chassis, which can also be the signal ground of an RCA connector. So saying we keep them separate, which I also try to do with 2 ground rods, is kidding ourselves. So something to be aware of as Ralph pointed out, component manufacturers have vastly different schemes. So beware.

I use the Puritan out through the Groundmaster to a rod in mother earth. I ran a separate ground rod for the signal grounds, but in my case they are the same as some of the power grounds. So creating a loop is a risk. I cannot say I have done that but with 2 rods outside I find it hard to believe they will travel back, especially with Groundmaster in place.

richmon,

Just read the Stereophile article you linked, some very interested stuff. Thank you!

I wonder if I ran a ground wire from the AC outlet ground to my Entreq with the signal grounds, would be a good thing?
