RE: Gutwire Perfect Ground Cable

Posted by Palustris on August 12, 2017 at 08:07:46:
"It appears to be a RCA cable that has only the ground shield attached to the ground pin on a power plug, at least it does to me. If that's the case, couldn't someone DIY this if they're willing to accept something that is less than elegant in appearance? "

Any competently engineered electronic device already has a safe and reliable ground connection making this absurd cable superfluous. If one wanted to add noise to your system by creating a ground loop, one could, as you say, just make a cable with an RCA plug on one end connected only to the ground sleeve and a electrical plug at the other end connected only to the ground pin and have the same thing for a couple of dollars. The difference would be you wouldn't have the magic Ubame oak charcoal from Japan which purportedly absorbs EMI and RF as well as having the unique and unbelievable property of emitting negative ions!
