My dedicated audio room build - QuadDiffusor's Big Dig

Master Earth Grounding bus bar

This section highlighted in green will be connected to a variety of low resistance ground sources, including wet soil rods, cold water pipe, etc. The main Breaker Box (inside the house) will have a grounding cable running to this Master Earth Grounding bus bar.

A much older house nearby in the same neighborhood has a suboptimal (much smaller, and heavily corroded grounding bus bar mounted on a wooden board) with bare wires inserted. The only good thing going for it are the very clear plastic labels, LOL. Frankly speaking, I have no idea how this bus bar does what it's supposed to do!

Do you know if the bus bar is aluminum or copper? Europe is lucky in that a lot is copper. The USA and its race to the bottom of the garbage can is all aluminum. You can't even special order copper. Cheap, Cheap, Cheap is all the market desires.
