In Reply to: OK, but I thought the star wiring was for a different purpose posted by bartc on December 26, 2006 at 15:55:56:
Many houses lack ceiling light fixtures in every room. To make it possible to control a table or floor lamp from a wall switch, and still have a convenience outlet that is always on, the electricians will break the tabs on standard outlets and wire one outlet with an always-on circuit, and the other one with a circuit fed from the wall switch.The breakaway tabs on standard outlets are small and heavily scored. This can cause degradation for audio components fed through the tabs, so I recommend star wiring to these outlets. The Furutech outlets have robust metal in place of the tabs, so the star wiring is unnecessary. It requires an additional connection, so it may be worse than wiring directly to one pair of screws on the outlet.
The few inches of separation from star wiring will not give significant isolation in the case where all the audio is fed from the same outlet.
