Grounding Kits - I'm a believer.
 
I'm naturally a skeptic, but i gave this mod a try anyway.

I have a full write-up of my observations here, and my take on the installation here.

But long story short, i think this works both from a subjective and measured point of view.

And oh, the "measured" part? If this makes any sense to any of you, you'll know what i mean ;)

same CD, same part of the track?..

It's a test tone. The sound stays the same. :)

But of the three tests, i also tested using a song, same song/volume/duration and part of the track. There was a measured 2-3 db difference before/after. The 2-3 db variance was pretty consistent.

Seriously, one of the best write ups on this I've seen. Looks like a simple install! Good write up, thanks for sharing the great info

I think I'm the only one who went as far as soldering the connection between the bare wire and the gold plated connectors. Call me anal I guess :)

Nice write up Mike.

Thanks for the kind words and the writeup Mike.

Hey thanks for doing this =) Shows everyone that at least from the sound level, it truly is improved. Which only further suggest that the other "said" gains will improve as well.

Im gonna try and install mine soon.

where can I pick up one of these grounding kits? do the same results go for all grounding kits including the stillen kit?

I put this on about two months ago and I am definitely a believer the throttle response has improved. But I'm glad someone tried to look into this objectively. Nice write up.

Touche Robby :) We have a salt air climate here, and I was hesitant to do that.
