Grounding cable gauge size
@bugredmachine if you don’t mind share pics and ingredient list if it works out for you.  I am planning to build a third box twice the size of my current two DIY boxes.  Intrigued by the “pull” construction.  Each speaker will have its own small b... 
Great results with NPS 1260?!
On the fuses i cover all of the metal ends.  On tubes covered pins all the way removing excess drips.

@donkaz yes both and it works wonders.  I apply let it settle, respread, settle and dab off excess that accumulates

A Second Noise Floor?
@guakus Thanks…good that it broke!  Ozzy has another thread going on discussing ground boxes you might want to check out.  Good info there as  well.  He recommends solid silver 16 or 18 ga.  I’m just trying to determine if the cable makes a SQ dif... 
A Second Noise Floor?
@guakus were you able to compare whether gauge size/metal type of the wire made a difference in SQ? Or materials you added…Thanks  
Grounding cable gauge size
@ozzy or anyone else experimenting with ground boxes.  Have you been able to confirm whether or not you gain SQ improvement by: - using silver wire vs. copper - solid wire vs stranded - different gauge size - cable lengths matter - connector ...

Very impressive box ingredient list and system Wow!  I took a much simpler tact (on my modest system) after doing limited research with positive results as well. I made 2- 6x6 boxes from scrape melamine wood. Lined inside with copper plates and co... 
What software are you running on your music server
Amarra on a Macbook.  Connects to Tidal and Qobuz.  Interface isn’t the best.  Has  a play ap for phone or ipad.  Sound quality with or without EQ is excellent better than Tidal directly if you can live with their interface.

I have found that sometimes logic doesn’t always translate to audio reality. Especially when it comes to all things in this hobby. Ozzy, completely agree...being new to this hobby for a little over a year now I am continually amazed how all sorts...

@cakyol i guess these grounding connections to a ground box solved my speaker’s grounding issues.  Loving it!   Amp and DAC don’t seem to benefit from the box's.  Crazy stuff… .    
Grounding cable gauge size
@bugredmachine i agree with your comment above on auditory improvement on a ground…UNTIL I plugged my speakers into the ground box. Gobsmacking sound improvement. Better than spending thousands of $’s on component upgrades…My ears tell me the truth!

I connected basic 16ga copper strand wire to the neg terminal on each speaker only to the standalone box. Speakers have class D sub amps built in not fully powered speakers. Plan to try NPS1260, wire and connector upgrades to see if it improves.  
How to properly stream TIDAL, Qobuz, Deezer, et cetera?
Time to do your own comparison on your system to find out.  Roon Trial or purchase a month seems like the ticket.  I use Tidal and compared it with and without Amarra software and it definitely sounds better with Amarra.   Not sure what they do?  ... 
A Second Noise Floor?
Ok connected my second 6x6 grounding box ( copper plate lined, 45% rock salt, 45% horticulture charcoal, 10% crushed tourmaline) to my Goldenear triton speakers with built in subs.  Used banana plugs from box to the neg  speaker plug.  Wow dramati...
