In Reply to: I lifted my grounds, reached new heights of "Audio Nirvana" and then......... posted by Awe-d-o-file on August 23, 2008 at 00:28:17:
Do a search in the archives under my name and posts with the word "ground". There is a very minimal safety risk involved, so be sure to read my posts completely to understand what the risk is. Then you can make up your own mind about lifting all the grounds from your system.
Me -- I will never listen to a grounded system again.
Bummer about your amp -- sounds like an under-specified part or something. Three times in a row is too much. That's not what CJ normally does. If you read the forums, there are virtually no complaints about their gear. Good luck getting a permanent fix.
