I don't have a link to the Shunyata CGS PDF that is available somewhere. Maybe Puma Cat had one. I think I have a hardcopy somewhere.

But basically, the original CGS concept was to connect CGS ground cables to equipment not connected via PC's to Triton's or Denali's.

What I did a couple of years ago was to connect a CGS cable to chassis ground on the very same components connected to a Triton/Denali. You just use a screwdriver to pull out a chassis screw just a bit so that you can push in a small CGS cable connector under it.

Puma cat started connecting to signal ground on a device connected to a Denali/V2 via DYI cable and RCA connector.

I think that it might be good idea to separate SGS and CGS on their appropriate equipment. Currently experimenting here with running SGS to a dealerprovided Nordost QKore6 but QKore6 connects one end to the Shunyata CGS on the AC side not the DC side of the transformers. At the moment Extremely promising SQ.

Let me tell you straight up, this grounding thing is very confusing at first but it has gotten somewhat clearer now. What is also clear is that SGS/CGS grounding has alot of soundquality potential that you would not be able to access with modest equipment otherwise. I use a streamer which is about 1k, previously I used a cardslot in my preamp for this, but technology moves so fast. But a 1k streaming device might not have the grounding and noise reduction principles of a 20-30k preamp. But this is opportunity!
