Grounding cable gauge size

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

I believe solid silver works the best 16-18 gauge.

I ordered a Russ Andrews RF Router MKII for my signal grounds going to separate ground rod.

BTW, the Groundmaster is potted so you cannot decipher its guts other than the faint outline of caps in the potting.
