<>Hmmm, the 'Ultimate Power Cord' from GTT audio claims to be UL approved, yet doesn't have grounds for any item but the preamp (at least that's what I understood from speaking to GTT). They claim a high sound quality status, including mention that Chesky is using the cord and it sounds like the megabuck cables for around $50 or so.
GTT says the whole system will ground suffiently though the interconnects to the preamp. While I know that the equipment does ground out this way, I'm wondering if this is really safe or the best way to ground equipment coming with 3 prongs, yet dropping a ground on the plug in favor of the interconnects and preamp being the route to ground.
Could this possibly fry your other equipment, where it wouldn't otherwise get fried had the source component of the problem have its own direct ground on its own power cord? Or, create other other hazards? Maybe a dumb question, but I don't know everything.
