Grounding cable gauge size
Getting there. I still have to make the silver cables to complete this project and take it for a spin. It's been very difficult to find the time to get this completed. The insides of my boxes are like battery plates. I made a "square" and a "tall...

The Bricasti dac I use does not connect the outer shell of the RCA's and XLR's to the power ground pin on the power cable. So they are only signal grounds.   On my amp, the case, XLR's and power input ground pin are all the same, so there is no ...

It is essentially a Groundmaster. I wanted one to have a filter before my second earth rod (and to give his a try) for my signal grounds   So, are your amps and subs signal negatives for sure not chassis?.

Ozzy, have you determined what kind of ground is going to the box? Are you connecting in series or parallel? If your box is a chassis ground or otherwise an electrical ground then you would be creating a loop no matter what the device is. If you...

It would never be an empty box. It would have to have filters for certain frequencies and perhaps some diodes to let the noise escape and not return. I never said the Andrews was an empty box.

Similar to my incident. Must be making a ground loop. Don't forget, many chassis grounds can be signal grounds on some devices. My amp's ground to the wall is also the chassis and XLR grounds.   Here is a simple device I made with a spare Furute...

The Andrews should have a filter network in it like the Groundmaster to make sure what goes in does not came back through.

Yes, I have 2 earth rods. One for AC grounding from the Puritan and one for signal grounds via the Russ unit. So far the biggest gains for me have been the 2 ADD-PWR Wizards I use. The music is so addicting I could care less about noise. But I li...

One thing I did try last weekend was putting the Andrews device in and connecting the neg from my Wilsons and that produced a nice subtle buzz. So, a no-go on the Wilsons going to earth ground. So now I have all my other signal grounds in the And...

I'm going to try one wide and one tall. Planning to stand them up to save floor space. Some progress on these prototype boxes.

Sure, once I have something worth trying. I will be using MDF for the box so I can open it up and re-configure if needed.   The Andrews box should be here this week.

I plan to use silver wire going into copper plates inside as they are on the same end of the galvanic scale. Then I am planning to use aluminum plates on the other end of the scale to create the "pull" across the conductive media.
