Grounding cable gauge size
afg101, Thank you for that information. I have been experimenting now quite a bit with this grounding method. It is better to separate digital from analog into 2 different grounding boxes. Luckily, I built several DIY boxes that IMHO are better t...

Townshend Audio speaker podiums...three ways to install
I concur. Place your speakers directly on the Podiums. No footers, no spikes, notta. I placed my Sopra 3’s on the podiums myself just as millercarbon described. I did not release the springs on the podiums until the speakers were in place. I had...

Thanks for commenting. I was beginning to think that I was the only one using this type of grounding. BTW, the silver 3 foot 16 ga .999 wire cost me $21 including shipping. Compared to the $1600 for the Entreq Atlantis. ozzy  
Where should the vocal image be?
I think most images are based on the recording. But I personally prefer a center image a little behind and between the speakers. ozzy

Just connected up the new .999 16 ga silver wire. I used no connectors. Made a loop at one end to go over the outside of an unused RCA and then used an RCA cap to keep it in place. At the other end into the Entreq I made the wire end into an arrow...

I'm expecting today some 16 ga .999 silver wire that I ordered thru Amazon to try. BTW, drpie,which wire is the more subtle? ozzy

Then why is the Entreq Atlantis cable $1600? I have found an old description of one of their cables: "Our top cables Apollo & Olympus are made of Silver, Cotton and Wood. The silver conductors are twisted by our own developed system and then...

That's what I think. Do you think 16-gauge silver to be ok? ozzy  
Grounding cable gauge size
Thanks for the comments. It is a signal ground not an AC ground. It is sort of remarkable in the way the soundstage stage solidifies with this type of grounding. I've just got to zero in on the proper gage. I agree that the cost for a Entreq Atl...

I ask this question because the Entreq Atlantia cable sells for about $1600. This seems rather expensive for a short grounding wire. I have tried 10-gauge copper and 18-gauge silver. Each gives a slightly different sound. ozzy

How do you explain audiophiles to your friends?
These days I don't even try. But my dog listens... ozzy  
Suggestion between benchmark Ahb2, Bob carver crimson 275 and rogue atlas magnum 2 amos
jasonbourne52, Why so angry? Don't be misled from an article based on one of those anti-audiophile web sites. The equipment that was tested is questionable so are the motives. ozzy
