If our audio room is say 50' away from my service panel and I drive a new rod right outside the audio room, I have to install a bare copper grounding wire from the rod all the way back to the service panel. I forgot the gauge of said wire but it's a big wire you know what I'm talking about! Then you could run smaller ground wires from audio room to the new ground rod? Would this work?
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

@lrlacosse in his post above, mentions the same thing I was asking about. The rod outside the audio room grounding to audio room outlets wouldn't be to code and also I don't know if any benefit could be found? It would have to be grounded back to main panel correct? I want to install a sub panel in audio room is what I'm gonna do. Using the heaviest gauge wire possible to main panel. Even then using another grounding rod it would still have to ground at main panel! A silver rod, How much for one of them? |
