Grounding your speakers for better sound: This only requires some spare
light gauge copper wire and soldering equipment. It's for advanced
audiophiles who are not afraid to go into their (dynamic) speakers. Cut
single lengths of wire about the length of your regular speaker wire.
Solder each piece of wire to the positive terminals of each driver
connected to the crossover board inside the speaker. Do the same for
the other speaker. Now combine the free ends of all 4 (or 6) wires, and
connect this to the terminal grounding screw at the back of your amp.

**WARNING! ACHTUNG! ATTENTION! This poster's advice is not to be
heeded.

Be aware that Trevor Wilson, is a raving, profanity-spewing lunatic,
and an objectivist extremist. His intention here is merely to be
contrary and provocative, because he's a troll with a vendetta against
me. He has little or no experience or qualifications in this area of
audio, and has never attempted the above tweak of which he nevertheless
speaks on. On the other hand, I have. I've performed the above redesign
of many loudspeakers and tried it with numerous amplifiers for years,
with zero problems. Suffice to say the above presumes you don't have or
don't care about warranties on a speaker, assuming your speakers even
came with one, since you will have to open it up. However, if you would
like to see whether I'm right about the tweak and Trevor is full of it,
you can do so in 5 seconds. Instead of opening up the speakers, simply
connect one wire to the positive terminal of your speakers, and both
ends to the grounding screw on the back of the amp. (I haven't bothered
to try this "quick fix", but theoretically, as it works on a similar
principle to the full tweak, it should be of some benefit. I do not
expect it to improve things as much as the full tweak, if at all, but
like I said, it takes seconds to check out).

You cannot however void a warranty on your amplifier by connecting a
ground wire to it, otherwise, the amplifier would not have what's
called a "grounding screw". So that's more of Trevor the Troll's
idiotic ignorance speaking. Trevor is as ignorant about loudspeakers as
he is about turntables. He is ignorant of the fact that some hifi
loudspeaker designs incorporate a third jack for a grounding wire. He,
like many of his objectivist ilk, is against any and all forms of
"tweaking". His suggestions must be viewed as possibly a scurrilous
attempt to cause people to avoid ever improving their sound quality.
Basically, he wants you to be as miserable a person as he is!
