Grounding cable gauge size

You probably had a ground loop which you eliminated by plugging it into a star connnection. 

I was speaking to the HF NS 1260 compound. Yes, reducing noise is auditory but the compound should not be needed for this activity.

bugredmachine,

Ok, thanks for the response on the NPS 1260. I may try it anyway...

Question: Grounding from the outlet. If not to the Entreq or my DIY versions, then grounded to what? The chassis?

cakyol,

I have found that sometimes logic doesn’t always translate to audio reality. Especially when it comes to all things in this hobby.

observations do not concur with established theory

approach 1. conclusion: observations are flawed

outcome: status quo preserved

approach 2. conclusion: further investigation is warranted

new or modified theory proposed that aligns with observations

theory tested >

null hypothesis formulated, rejected or not,

theory rejected, theory accepted for further testing, theory modified or new theory proposed,

theory tested > …etc etc.. outcome: Scientific progress is made, even if we reject 10 hypotheses

my own experiments have lead me to conclude that there are things going on within electrical fields that theory clearly states shouldn‘t, and based on the anecdotal reports of many audiophiles I am not alone. I view this as an opportunity for scientific advancement rather than something to be dismissed in a condescending manner.

There are just too many people independently reporting similar findings for them to be dismissed out of hand.
