I am not saying there are no benefits, just that there are substantial liabilities. nt - Norm 09:49:22 08/28/08 (2)

No, it kills dynamics. But try it yourself. nt - Norm 06:14:10 08/27/08 (0)

Why don't manufactures do everybody a favor and double insulate the AC power wiring- - jea48 07:57:40 08/25/08 (13)

So if I wanted to "float" the grounds on my system... - clio09 07:34:08 08/29/08 (1)

Connecting the components to a floated power strip still allows ground loops. - Al Sekela 16:17:16 08/29/08 (0)
