I have made litz wire ground loops per Bud's instructions. I purchased the litz wire. In addition, I have made loops of comprised of multiple loops of magnet wire and of CAT5 Teflon clad wire.

I have placed the loops on audio sources as well as speakers. I have yet to try ground loops on video sources. When I do I will report back.

FYI - The eight wires of Category 6 Ethernet cable, being slightly thicker than those of Categegory 5 cable, are less prone to break on being stripped but I doubt their installed ground loop use conveys any comparative sonic advantage.

Many thanks for this tip of using Ethernet cable. I gave up on the ground loop tip weeks ago after having tried heavy-gauge, single-strand wire to no audible effect and have just had the delight of hearing the quietness after installing the multi-Lutz Cat 5 cable loops on my amp's negative speaker terminals. Next comes Cat 6 cable loops on the speakers' negative terminals. The only challenge is what to do with these floppy spaniels' ears resting behind the amp:-)!

Please do report back
