Thanks for the responses. I've read in other posts that floating the power cord ground wire, then replacing it with an external ground wire from the chassis still grounds the chassis the same way, just in a star type configuration, whereby its ground is at the wall before all the other grounds in the line conditioner.
The little screw in the faceplate is mechanically connected to the green ground wire of the outlet.
What this has to do with the BGT is: will the bgt effect actually affect the audio circuit or just be shunted to ground.
My guess is it will still be effective, as it seems to "charge" the whole ground circuit. All other components have chassis ground as well, just my preamp does it through an external wire.
