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?

Yesterday, I disconnected the Russ Andrews unit from the Entreq. I feel the music sounds better with the Russ Andrews unit connected to just my chassis ground. ie; Lumin X1 ground terminal and the AC ground into my Niagara 7000.

How’s it sounding now ozzy, noise floor down 2 or 3 db, better bass with more air and definition.

tecknik,

Well I am still experimenting. I have removed the Russ Andrews ground lead to my Niagara 7000. I think the Niagara does more ground clean up by itself.

So, today I have the Russ Andrews unit leads to the chassis of my Lumin X1 power supply and the JL Audio CR-1.

I am still running separate signal grounds from the rca’s on the equipment to my Entreq/ DIY grounding boxes.

I just picked up a Gutwire grounding cable and plugged it into one of the open RCA inputs and plugged it into the electrical socket.  I was nearly stunned at the increased clarity, focus and nuanced detail this brought to my system.  This was one helluva upgrade that did not cost an arm and a leg.

I fully agree. A no brainer everyone should try for themselves.

I'm using a grounding router with a separate grounding wire to every piece of equipment.

I went even further and grounded the tv stand and every speaker driver (frames and magnets).. Considering the movement within every speaker it's not unexpected the improvement is as great as earthing equipment.

All I can say is well worth the effort. If there's no improvement, I'd be most surprised.
