"Ground Control" what did I do wrong?

74.248.242.128

Split Romex 3-wire 14 gauge wire into two sets of 30 inches (+/-) single wire, attached gold plated bananas and put one each into the two negative posts of my Dunlavy SC IVs which are made to accept biwiring. I can hear no change. I guess I'll wait and listen for a few days then take them out and listen again. Oh well, the bananas only cost $25.00 or so and the wire about $5. Any suggestions?

I'm referring to the Audioquest Ground Control device mentioned in the post below.

  FWIW, a friend of mine recently brought over his Audioprism Ground Control. We hooked it up as instructed and couldn't reliably hear ANY difference in my system. As always, YMMV.

  Should be using "...140 strands of #40 AWG insulated coil wire. ...6 inches of the stuff"
  
  And, nope, I haven't tried it so you're one step ahead!

You had a ground problem previously? You expected a change apparently but what did you tie the other end of the romex into?
