Hi Pete
I'm glad you are enjoying the Pro Power so much.
I'm really liking my new MC helix too. I want more...
grounding wire- I believe that the finest gauge copper wire will work well because it will pass high frequency noise well. I believe that highly polished silver wire works well because high frequency noise can pass easily down the surface of this wire.
IF the grounding wires pick up vibration or Rf signals or magnetic flux, these are all noise adders and defeating the purpose.
I have used 3 pieces of 7 strand of 32 gauge copper wrapped in silk and
Braided together and I liked it best so far. A friend says 48 gauge is a tiny bit clearer. really fine copper wire needs to be chemically stripped.
I'd forgo the crimp-on parts because you are trying to offer the absolute least resistance to ground noise. just wire and maybe contact enhancer.
I'm not personally a fan of silver wire or silver coated wire but folks much more into grounding like it. Must be very highly polished thou.
I wonder what Rick thinks? maybe a magnetic flow wire.
There is available some mulit stranded copper ground wire the equals 8 gauge. I have some to use on earth grounding to rod because it passes Hi fq better. never tried it on any ground blocks.
solid 8 gauge is ok for electrical house grounding but not for audio IMO
More ground wire experiments are way down on my list of experiments I'm thinking of running but I have heard some very interesting things using different wires. mostly, I've found that most wire available is
not very good for audio signal, audio power or audio grounding.
I found one really good wire and nothing else was even in second place.
Happy listening
Dave
