...but based on my own situation, yes, it's great to be able to plug the notorious RF polluters into the old outlets, and keep the dedicated line pristine.
...But yes, too: the dedicated line made everything worse except for the stray voltage discharge leaking into my hand every time I touched the front aprons of my amp or preamp. Mercifully, that much is fixed now.
Seriously: I could start a believe-it-or-not museum with all the ridiculous (and sometimes inexplicable) problems I've had. I thought they were all attributable to ungrounded outlets causing fault energy to fry internal components, but I just bought a Marantz DVD player and it quit working properly on the second day out of the box.
I'm skating perilously close to giving up on the whole thing and getting an Aiwa bookshelf system and downmixing the 5.1 input.
