@dlcockrum following up on your questions. I would certainly not recommend a long run to a grounding block if it can be avoided. If you do have to then you could consider having Mike Powell at Verastarr make you something up - there's a discussion of my experience with his work here https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/verastarr-s-mike-powell-upgrading-sr-stuff/post?postid=145531...
I cannot really pass any opinion on where you may find the most impact, it's highly system dependent. I found some of the greatest changes came from grounding the stands (?!) under my power amps and that grounding anything to do with the turntable made things worse, so care and experimentation are needed
Regarding the tranquility bases I tried one in my system under my PowerCell 12 UEF and it sounded terrible - upgrading the GPA amp stand under the PowerCell to Apex footers and subsequently adding Marigo RHZ feet under the PowerCell was much better. Personally I've never found any of the SR platforms or footers effective and felt that they all impart an edgy and metallic tinge to my system. As always your experience may differ but do make sure you can try it and return it if needed
