RE: Charles--does this incl the ground on the dedicated line outlet? nt

Probably. I never tried it. However, I did have a system that was completely floating and grounded it to an incoming copper cold water pipe that was only about 2 feet away from my preamp. The system sounded *very* slightly better with that ultra-clean ground. The ground on a dedicated circuit cannot be as clean as the ground I tried, so I still would recommend floating the system for best sonics.

Do this at your own risk. The danger is miniscule but real. You are a grown up. Decide for yourself if it is worth the risk. (Every house in this country built prior to 1960 had ungrounded outlets. It was only two years ago that I moved into a house with grounded outlets. Somehow I lived through it.)
