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.

My system is dead quiet and excellent SQ.  I tried grounding cable with RCA connector on several preamps and found sound is darken, high limited and not as airy.   Similar results with RCA grounding pins.  Like everything else, everything system dependent.
Months so well broken in.  I'll play with it again in different positions and components.

More interesting is RCA shorting pins.  Had them in for months and sound opened up as each pair is removed.   I use RCA caps without shorting pins that reduces HF harshness/noise that some claim useless but works for me.  I trust my ear and can easily hear the improvements.  

FWIW, I use audiophile fuses and hear direction on some components so have open mind.
