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?

@bugredmachine in checking my DAC’ s ground wiring it’s IEC ground is connected to a chassis connection and from there a ground wire connects to circuit board.  No direct wires from the chassis ground to RCA or XLR’s. Is this considered a signal ground similar to your DAC?  Thanks again.

Getting there. I still have to make the silver cables to complete this project and take it for a spin. It's been very difficult to find the time to get this completed.

The insides of my boxes are like battery plates. I made a "square" and a "tall" unit. I have silver plated (presumably silver) connections and I also put an "output" jack as well. Copper sheet and aluminum sheet with a conductive media.

 

 

I borrowed ingredients from you folks and decided to mix them with potting soil. I looked at topsoil, but it is filled with sticks and twigs. Once you mix in the shungite, magnesium, carbon, and copper chop, it takes on a much different consistency. I also packed it into the spaces and then I laid a piece of EMI absorbing sheet inside each cover before attaching.
