Gutwire Perfect Grounding Cable

Haven't tried grounding boxes (e.g.,Entreq) because of their cost, but the Blue Moon award (Six Moons) winning Gutwire Perfect Ground cable at under $300 (see Gutwire's website) is worth trying.

The cable's single rca plug is connected to an unused input on my Pathos TT integrated and the AC connector is plugged into an unused wall socket. It isn't broken in yet, but there is an immediate improvement (reduction of the noise floor, etc.) consistent with the review.

I didn't have a hum issue.  I have been reading reviews of grounding boxes (e.g., Entreq) for several years and wouldn't try them because of the cost.  Since the effects of the Gutwire cable described in the review sounded similar to the improvements reviewers have attributed to the Entreq boxes I gave it a try.

The cable can be attached to any unused input and can be ordered with rca, xlr, or spade connector (for components with a chasis ground connection).  There is no AC current involved - only the grounds on the input and AC connectors are wired.
