GutWire Ultimate Grounding Cable

With the recent reviews, and positive reports from a couple of members here, I decided to take the plunge and order one.

Like others I have been intrigued by the positive reviews for grounding blocks from various companies, but the prices are prohibitive. I decided to spend the extra $100 for the Ultimate over the Perfect as both reviews say it offers significant improvement. I am planning on plugging it into an unused RCA input on my Antique Sound Labs autoformer passive pre. I'll post updates after I get it, and have broken it in.

Interesting, I wonder if it will have the same impact as the Ultimate.  Just got my Ultimate and will plug it in tonight:)

Tommylion,

Do you find the SPDIF out is better than the other RCA out in your system?  Also, how much better when your UG is fully break in vs. when is brand new? 10%? 20%?  I believe I have mine for about 25 hours now, I like what I hear but I expected more after reading the reviews here.  Hope it will improve more after 50 hrs.  Thx!

Thank you!  I guess I just have to be a little more patient:)

I've been trying to find reasons to return the UG.  I kept saying to myself the difference is minimum and not worth the money.  However, music becomes disengaged every time I disconnect the UG from my system.  With the UG, it's more musical, 3D, let you get into music and forget about the sound.  When I unplugged it, things still sound the same but it's flat and not fun to listen to anymore.  Therefore, I am keeping the UG.  Last but not least, thank you for your recommendation Tommylion!
