    Is there any benefit connecting a component to the CGS on the Denali V2?

    Shunyata Grounding System

    Can gears without a grounding pin (e.g., receivers) benefit from Altaira connection? According to the Shunyata roadmap, 2 prong gears should not be grounded.

    Shunyata Grounding System

    I was a little bit confused regarding separating analog from digital so I emailed Shunyata. I was told for best performance, use 2 Signal Hubs to separate analog from digital. Additionally, Shuntaya groups DACs as analog since the output is analog. This is from Shunyata customer service.

    Shunyata Grounding System

    If segregating analog from digital with 2 SG hubs, Shunyata suggests the DAC to be connected to the analog SG hub since the output is analog.

    Shunyata Grounding System

    Are you connecting earth from each SG to the Everest? SG (digital) to Everest and SG (analog) to Everest? This this the preferred way? I believe in the Shunyata document, it illustrates daisy chaining SG to SG to power distributor.

    Shunyata Grounding System

    Lots of good info! If a component has no dedicated ground terminal, is it better to ground with an unused input? or output? If a component has no IEC ground pin, do NOT ground the component, not even with an unused input

    Shunyata Grounding System

    Thank you for this information. It wasn't super clear in the document. I've attached a screenshot. To clarify, if one already has a Chassis Hub (for analog), one can just get a Signal Hub (for digital). However, to obtain optimal performance, get 2 Signal Hubs, one for analog and one for...

    Shunyata Grounding System

    I read everything twice :) https://shunyata.com//wp-content/uploads/dlm_uploads/2022/08/ALTAIRA-System-Profile-Guide.pdf My system fits Profile A. Says I can upgrade the effect by separating analog from digital.

    Shunyata Grounding System

    If I only have a DAC and an Integrated amp to ground (my music server doesn’t have an IEC ground pin, so not suitable), does segmenting analog from digital still make sense? I will then be using the Chassis hub for the integrated and Signal hub for the dac?

    Share your experience with tweaks etc for your CH gear

    How did you screw the RevOPod to the CH? Did you have to remove the original footers?

    Advice appreciated (SF guarneri Tradition, Focal and others )

    Will the Serafino be too boomy in a 13' by 13' room with minimal treatment? Previously used the Guarneri Memento and was perfect.

    Siltech Cables

    The Classic Anniversary Network cable uses G9 silver-gold. I wonder what this new metallurgy is.
