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".

If not, then you can connect via a chassis screw to a system like the Shunyata Chassis Ground System ground posts. The method shown above is for Signal Grounding, not Chassis Grounding.

Do you think this is a better way of signal grounding (copper bolt), than connecting to the ground post on the conditioner?? |

Yes. Because the ground post on the power conditioner is for chassis grounding. This is for signal grounding. They are different things.

and.. according to your picture, it seems to be ok to connect multiple ground wires to the one bolt. Am I right? |
