Gutwire Perfect Grounding Cable

Good post ghosthouse. Actually trying things before judging is the foundation of "the greater fool theory". ;)

This cable connects the ground of the circuit (via a phono plug neutral connection) to the ground pin of the Mains plug

Why? - Some circuit designs do not ground the neutral side of the circuit to the ground pin so there can be a noise buildup in that circuit

Grounding in this manner will ensure the neutral side of a connected circuit is grounded effectively - reducing the overall noise level

It provides a good solution to one aspect of the various noise related issues in a system

I have applied a similar DIY solution to components with  wal-wart power supplies or have a two pin plug (no ground) and it proved to be very effective

Now, all of my components have fully grounded circuits - so there is no need for this type of solution

When to use them?
- Check your component to determine if there is continuity between the neutral side of an input/output socket and the ground pin of the unit - if there is, there is no real need for one of these cables, but it will not be an issue if you still decide to use one

Gutwire make some very good power cables - this one goes one step further

Using this type of cable on every component will not create ground loop issues - if you have a hum while using this type of cable there is something wrong with a connected component - it is not the cable creating the issue

Regards

Wouldn't all of this be unnecessary if there was an industry standard on internal grounding of audio components?

No, 6moons is NOT a pay to play business. Srajan went to great lengths to explain his decision to not carry any business that profited from his reviews. Some of them had several positive reviews and used them for sales purposes and they were some of the biggest players out there. They were parasitically riding on his back.

The smaller players were carrying all the water so he simply leveled the playing field. It's really no different, and a somewhat better business model, than what others are doing. In fact, the biggest complainers were some of the competition who ended up copying his model, or had the real pay for play service going on all the while and were quite embarrassed by it when it was brought up. 

All the best,

A manufacturer who wants a product reviewed in 6Moons has to pay for the privilege.  That's "pay to play."
