If you asked, I would have elaborated on what I meant. You mistook eveything I said and I thank you for deleting your caustic answer. I should have replaced floating ground with chassis ground. Then it may have been more clear.The only thing I am worried about is noise. Just looking to see if anyone has messed with the earth ground to electronics ground seeing as you can open a large handful of modern electronics and they are tied together (sometomes with a filter of some sorts). I thought it may be fun to try.

I think the confusion arises from using the archaic term ground (a carry-over from the early days of crystal Radio) when refering to circut Common current returns. Poor physical layout or arrangement of those current returns can create current loops & thereby introduce noise; the chassis should not be a circut current return path. A SAFETY Ground connection should never be a circut current return pathway. Capacitive *filters* connected between circut Common & a power cord become *Death Caps* when failed closed. With a proper SAFETY arrangement, the circut proper makes conection to the chassis at one point only & the 3-rd SAFETY wire of the cord set connects to the chassis at it's own separate point. Thus with any fault current flow is direct to EARTH instead of via the operator. Such a connection should have no operational effect on a well-designed electronics circut.
Actually the perspective I was looking for. No functional improvment.By the way, though I have need it done, I was not keen on the idea of a capaciave filter anyway because how easy they can explode...
Thanks again,
