Grounding cable gauge size


For those of you using external grounding source devices, units such as Entreq, Nordost, Synergistic, etc. What size wire gauge seems to work the best?

@ozzy The plug going into the socket provides the ground.  The green wire connects the unit to the Routemaster, which provides a number of connections for grounding all of the components in the system (see photo with different terminations of those other green wires).

twoleftears,

So, the Groundmaster City costs $250 and cannot be used without the other device the Routemaster that costs $700. Is that correct? Why not sell them as a set?

It also seems that it should be able to be plugged into a Entreq that has 4 connections.

Just talked to a rep from Puritan. He advised against using the Puritan Grandmaster City version to connect up to my Entreq.

@ozzy or anyone else experimenting with ground boxes.  Have you been able to confirm whether or not you gain SQ improvement by:

- using silver wire vs. copper

- solid wire vs stranded

- different gauge size

- cable lengths matter

- connector end metal types or just nude

I tried using nps 1260 and didn’t distinguish any additional improvement. Thanks
