I already had a grounding buss sitting around and just bought some spade clips and the wire. This all cost under $25. Cheapest system upgrade ever!

Thanks HolyDean. That Mike & Rick interview with Caelin is very helpful.

So after watching that and reading the Shunyata website I got out the Ohm meter and found screws on each of my components that showed 0 resistance to the ground input plug. I set up a star ground with 10 gauge wire that drains any voltage from each component’s chassis to the grounding lug on my Denali.

Wow.

The system hum is down maybe 80-90% to the point where I only hear it if my ear is within 18" of the speakers. No longer filling the room with a soft hum. But the important result is that whole system sounds better. I already though it was good and went after the hum as an academic exercise. I wasn’t ready for how it seemed to move me up from the 10th row to the 3rd in terms of clarity and palpability of the singers and instruments. (CJ tube pre/amp and dcs player) The music is more engaging now.

Hi Clyde2 @clyde2 

This is great to know. Thank you!

I was wondering whether the job was done or if there's more to be gained.  Sounds like a 30 day trial of an Altaira makes good sense.
