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.

OP, I am looking forward to your review. The only downside I see with this solution is running out of wall outlets, should you choose to add grounding to rest of the components. That’s one of the reason I chose Nordost QRT components with QKORE6 for the entire system. And now I cannot imagine my system without it.

With drop in noise floor, I expect you to hear improvements in the areas of depth, clarity and musicality.

@tommylion,

That’s a very encouraging news! I am glad to hear your positive experience so far...

On another thread here, I acted on a lead and order a pair of iFi iPurifiers earlier today. They seem to be well thought out in their design philosophy at a very attractive price of $99.

@tommylion, 

Didn’t I warned you 😉

Component grounding is just as important as AC grounding. My system took major leap forward when I added component grounding from Nordost (QKORE6). 

I am glad you’re enjoying your upgrade. 

Cheers!

Dave,

I have tried doubling up on component grounding with my Nordost QKORE6 which resulted in reduced effectiveness, especially in upper frequencies. It will be interesting to know if UG cable can be as effective on multiple components as it is on a single component. 

Cheers!
