try the ground conditioner. I have two in my system and am going for a third. Then I'm game to try the power cord.
Follow Ups:
I use a Granite Audio ground unit where all chasses are connected. I want to try connecting the ground conditioner to it. But as I understand it, this unit is intended to be connected to the circuit ground not the chassis ground.
After experiencing this unit at T.H.E. SHOW, I would bet that it is shunting the ground from the gear, to the materials inside the "stethoscope". Removing a potential signal ground loop from circulating to the rest of the system is a good thing, presuming that is what is happening. Again, just my guess.

........R U talking about this unit?
How exactly does it connect to ones system and if one has balanced power, and all the componenets are grounded to the balanced power supply, how would one implement the unit?
Sure looks interesting...what R your impressions of it?
Cheers,

Yes, this is what I am talking about. It's a pretty simple implementation. You either use the spade to connect it to a components ground post or to a screw that makes a bare metal connection to the chassis. In lieu of those two options being available, you can also use the RCA adpater to plug the unit into an available input or output (it won't short the gear) RCA jack. This is how I use it on my transport and DAC. It is recommended to be placed under the chassis near the area where the transformers are located. However, it you can also experiment for best placement.
I'm not that savvy as to how it works, but the idea is that electrical current potential and electric field from your equipment travels through the attached cable and to inside of the RGC-24, which is made up of blended ore. In some ways it reminds me of the VPI brick. Now since you have a pretty good ground scheme with your balanced power set-up, the results may not be as obvious to you, although the manufacturer claims that there will still be an improvement. I don't have dedicated lines or a star grounding scheme. In general the power where I live is not the best either (one of these days I'll try a power regenerator). However, in my system as a result of using the ground conditioner the noise floor dropped and the benefit was heard immediately.
Very impressive on my integrated.

Connoisseur, along with almost all the rest of the main system, is long gone. It's gone to a good owner, though, and he's really happy with it.

Hi Matt:
No, I only have one attached to the integrated. Personally, I didn't notice any significant advantages plugging both into the amp. The second one I'm using with my headphone amp.
How much are those puppies? Thanks in advance!
