Did anyone experience Audio Prism's Ground Control


Fellow Audiogoner's

I wonder if anyone has any input on Ground Control spade versions? I am curious about the impact of these pigtails on your system's overall sound?

I also have their quiteline filter (4pack) installed in my HT room and they have helped lower the overall noise floor.

Hi Ozzy,

Are the 3 sets of ground controls you have in your system the standard ones, not the reference version?

Bud,would you recommend then just putting the standard GC's on the amp so the soundstage doesn't shrink and the reference at the speaker? I live in Canada, so with shipping, etc would like to get it right the 1st time.

Thanks, Greg

I just ordered a standard set of ground control spades for my bi - wire Martin Logan Odyssey's which I will install for the stator panel.

If I experience what Ozzy did, I will do the other set on the speakers, the amp and rca's as well. I will keep you guys posted after I have them in for a while. I found a source up here in Canada for them.

Cheers
The ground controls are a keeper!! I was surprised at the difference of just having one set on the negative post for the stators of my Martin Logan Odyssey's.

The music was more natural, better flow to it,better soundstage and air.To put it bluntly, it sounds more real. I consider these things a bargain for what they do for the price.

I will be adding another set for the bass on the speakers and at the amp also, then experiment with the rca version of ground control.

Ozzy,

I read you have 2 rca GC on your Cary cd player. I am running XLR wires , so I assume you only need 1 GC on the negative rca out jack. Would that be correct?

Can you tell me where you put the other rca GC on your Cary, beside the rca out and what degree of improvement you noticed using 2 GC rca versions on your Cary.

Thanks

I have two more sets of standard GC wrapped up for Christmas to add to the bass of my Martin Logans and to my amp. December 26th, I will be in my soundroom all day, can't wait.

I will report back after that with my findings. As already stated, I have a set on the stator panels already which did an amazing job of improving things.

Cheers
I had a little grounding issue between my VPI turntable and my tubed phono pre.I decided to try the spade ground control.I took them off my amp and put one on the ground at the phono stage and the other at the ground on the vpi table.
I already had a ground going from the TT to the phono stage.I was surprised that the ground control helped the grounding issue,but also added more clarity as well.

I will be leaving them on the phono stage and VPI turntable and ordering another set for the amp again.
