Just be careful not to have two different grounding rods in your house's electrical system that can cause issue with grounding and potential difference between the two grounding rods, and poses a safety issue.

Affordable Grounding
My Frankenstereo has assorted grounding elements behind the rack. The head end of the streaming chain is in another room. At the wall outlet, there’s Nordost QBase 4 Mk II – with a ground lug.
I tried this inexpensive grounding tweak clipped on to the lug. Subtle – but it works. More transparency. Probably similar results with the Puritan Ground Master – and other brands. Worth a try! Certainly more affordable than an Entreq. I purchased the cheapest one with the copper wire/paper cylinder. (Not a fan of silver-plated wire.)
YMMV

@bolong Good reference. ‘Signal ground’ vs ‘Earth ground’ – aka Chassis ground – aka Safety ground. Signal ground originates within the component itself. Earth ground is a safety configuration for the household circuitry. Regarding audio, electrical noise/hash migrates to either type of ground for different reasons. Reducing that electrical noise/hash results in better SQ – with a blacker background. Caelin Gabriel discusses Signal vs Earth ground starting at 19 min 20 sec in this video. |
