Just in case folks haven't seen it, here is my home-made signal grounding system:

It's wires are connected at the component end to the negative (-) leg of the RCA plug. This plug goes on an unused RCA jack on my pre or DAC (could also be phono stage). The other end is connected to a copper split bolt, and the nut is tightened down on the wires. The bolt just hangs in the air over the edge of my audio rack.



It took all of seconds to hear the improvement: this grounding "embodiment" seem to makes music sound notably more...natural, lifelike, and involving. There's also increase in "perceived loudness".

Cost? About $6.

I call it "Usain".
