>Should (as common sense dictates) amplifier "chassis ground" be wired to the electrical (3-prong outlet ground wire) ground or should be left to float?Allowing an amplifier chassis to float can create a significant risk of electrical shock. There is always a current path of some proportion between AC operated components, such as power transformers, and the chassis they are mounted to. Failure to firmly connect the chassis to a low impedance ground may allow that current to flow through you when you touch the chassis. Generally speaking, the higher the voltage developed by the onboard components, the greater the risk of electrical shock from the chassis.
