Grounding cable gauge size

How’s it sounding now ozzy, noise floor down 2 or 3 db, better bass with more air and definition.

Well done bugredmachine, looking forward to your review once hooked up for a few days. 

Hi Ozzie,

I’ve been following both this thread and your post on WBF and from what I’ve understood from Peter is he stated multiple gauge silver to achieve a 15 g and that’s what I have been playing with along with different gauges to come to 15 g along with silver binding post and silver spades, next will be silver rca,s,

I think the key is to use multiple small g wire to achieve the 15 g due to its small signal .

I agree with you on separating digital and analog , each component has its own box I even have a separate box for chassis ground.

Ozzy,

Interesting observation on cable length , I have a lot of different lengths and notice no change and with my amp, I have both the binding post grounded to separate boxes as will has rca to its own box and I hear zero noise from my speakers.

After looking over the Entreq site recently there now stating the grounding box should match the component it’s grounding ie. weight the bigger the component the bigger the grounding box needed along with another thread I read where the box has one cable inside the box or compartment some of the larger Entreq box have multiple compartments thus multiple cables. 

Entreq now list the mixture , tungsten , magnesium, silver etc. so I did the same. I’m sure my mixture is different but it still made a huge difference in the music. 
 

It’s like any tweek really “ you need to read , experiment and try different combinations to reach the desired effect your looking for.

They do work .

I also added a outlet on the grounding box that grounds dac and server , using a 14 g pure silver wire attached to furutech ncf plugs into the house outlet like Entreq does and it certainly adds a more 3D space.

I’ve followed the Entreq website of listed ingredients along with installing of an electrical outlet on my grounding box that serves my dac and server. The only difference is that I’ve plugged the grounding box into my conditioner vs the wall outlet Entreq states , for me in my system it yields better results. 
 

I also used more wires and material in my box previously , then I read the updated Entreq site and others where they use a single 2 meter long silver wire with multiple layers of ingredients and multiple compartments and implemented the same.

I’d say for me the biggest improvements in SQ was following Entreq in the size and weight of the grounding box matches the size od component it’s grounding.

My amp box is bigger and weights more then my Accuphase A 65 amp and that made a huge difference vs the smaller box I used previously. The amp weights over 90 lbs and the new grounding box had to be filled at the desired location because I wasn’t going to pick it up and move it at 60 yrs old.

I found  plugging in the ground wire from grounding box to a power conditioner is better.

Agree with ozzy the boxes should be treated like any component regarding footers and proper shelf.
