Jfrech, you need to try different type of conductors and gauges when grounding the Robert Koda k-10. Different configurations of wire will yield different results. Example you're always going to lower noise floor when grounding a component, but it's crucial we don't sacrifice immediacy and add mechanical artifacts. Let your ears be your guide, the Koda as you know gets the timing correct and therefore has a cohesiveness and a fluidity that draws you into the performance. It's very easy to mess up a good thing if where not careful with our cable selection. Fine choice in the K-10 which is the correct foundation to be able to judge future upgrades.
Happy Listening.

Jfrech I know the feeling, currently listening to my K-10. To many pre amps add false energy and manipulate the signal. Enjoy this masterpiece.

I'm glad to see that earth grounding is starting to receieve more notice and praise from purist music lover's. To the Tripoint Troy defense the Entreq Silver Tellus is a good start and value, but the Troy is at another level all together. I recommend folks looking at a earth ground solution component really to do their homework and find owner's who have listened and owned both products. Example Lincoln Cheng editor and chief of Audiotechnique replaced the Entreq solution with two Troys.

Power doesn''t affect it. Ha, ha that's a good one. If you look at the back of the K-10 there is ground post, it's there because of the Troy. If you like we can discuss my experiences with some top pre amps compared to the K-10. I can go on and on regarding the K-10. Call would be best.

Jfrech, the k-10 is my current reference pre amp. No false dynamics or compression. The speed of this pre amps yields to a higher degree of refinement with all kinds of tonal colors. Enjoy your time with the k-10.
