Grounded Speaker Cable


Hi, all. I'm considering the purchase of speaker cable that has a ground wire which attaches to a nearby outlet. What's the deal with this? Does a grounded speaker cable really improve the sound significantly? Thanks.

Anyone here using the model 34 speaker cable I’m thinking about replacing my sp12 with it. 

If you dont want to try the sp14 with the ground wire, the 34 doesnt have a ground wire.

I believe I was one of the first people to purchase the SP14 speaker cables and I had no idea it came with a ground wire. I received an email from Cap after I placed the order and he asked me how far my system would be from an open outlet with a ground and a short explanation of why and what to do with the ground wire. The ground wire does not cause any issues in my system but I'm very hard pressed to tell you a difference in sound with vs without the ground. I prefer my (Veritas Cables) Aperta speaker cables.
