| DIY Active Ground Box FINAL UPDATE: I did it and it works. For about $87.00 USD I bought all the materials and put it together. A small 6 x 6 inch wooden box. A package of two 6 x 6 copper plates A coil of bare copper wire. A package of four banana plug binding pos... | |
| DIY Active Ground Box @fatdaddy2 Cutting the cables would achieve the exact same thing as not cutting them...except that by not cutting them, I have an opportunity to do something with them. Also, by cutting them, one has no way to address any noise issue having a ba... | |
| DIY Active Ground Box @lowrider57 Remember, this was supposed to be a phono cable and those have a ground, typically. Due to the type of customization, Synergistic suggested the Phono cable as the base. One end is stereo 3.5 stereo mini pin; like a headphone jack. T... | |
| DIY Active Ground Box @thyce I guess I should disclose my system. The socket is Audioquest NRG Edison with a PSAudio Noise Harvester in one socket, the other is the Shunyata Research Venom V16 power conditioner using their Reference Delta V2 XC high current cable. ... | |
| DIY Active Ground Box @4krowme I am using Shunyata's Venom V16 power distributor, which is grounded to the wall. Even if I use that, I still need to find a way to connect the spades. They're about 6 to 7 inches in length. It just seemed practical to have a box to c... | |
| DIY Active Ground Box @lowrider57 How do I get the three ground spades connected to common ground? The wall plug is too far away. I need a way to extend their conductance to ground. I cannot use any screws on the audio equipment as the screws are recessed into the... | |
| Powerquest 3 vs. Niagara 1200 @drowe Just curious, what power cable did you use with the Niagara 1200? That can make all the difference as the Powerquest has a built-in, low-grade, cable. | |
| Audioquest Angel vs Synergisitic Research Atmosphere Alive Just an update. I received the SR Atmosphere Lv 1 Alive custom Phono cable. It has exceeded my expectations and it hasn't even remotely finished breaking in. The addition of the Teflon Dielectric with copper mix has brought back the deep, rich m... | |
| Audioquest Angel vs Synergisitic Research Atmosphere Alive @ted_denney I am a little confused. :( Replacing my main power cables with Foundation seems like a step backward, no offense intended. From the wall I am using Audioquest’s NRG Edison socket. Then I am coming out of the wall with Shunyata’s Ref... | |
| Audioquest Angel vs Synergisitic Research Atmosphere Alive @andynotadam Exactly. I used to have a full loom of Audioquest cables. But Audioquest limits how far you can go under certain configurations, no matter what your budget is. For example, a lot of high end audio equipment coming out is starting t... | |
| Audioquest Angel vs Synergisitic Research Atmosphere Alive @ted_denney "Do you have mismatched power cords". Sadly, yes. The power chord is a Kimber Kable Summit Palladian. I am currently looking into getting your Atmosphere Excite SX to replace it. Which, honestly is a whole other question. From wha... | |
| Audioquest Angel vs Synergisitic Research Atmosphere Alive @ted_denney I have a loom of Foundation starting from source to powered speaker, then between the powered speaker and passive speaker and then from the powered speaker to the powered subwoofer. I placed an order for an Atmosphere X Level 1 Phon... | |
| Audioquest Angel vs Synergisitic Research Atmosphere Alive @ted_denney Sorry to bother you, but my impatience is getting the better of me. :) Can you tell me what differences you'd expect to hear if you were upgrading from Foundation to Atmosphere X Level 1? | |
| Audioquest Angel vs Synergisitic Research Atmosphere Alive @audiosaurusrex In my experience, I feel PCs and power sources are more important than ICs and speaker cables. Speakers can only give you what you provide it first. The first item in the chain in your electrical socket and electric cable. | |
| Audioquest Angel vs Synergisitic Research Atmosphere Alive @ted_denney It is done! Cable ordered. Now comes the fun part....waiting. /sarcasm 😁 |
