Thank you for your comments. I do not disagree with how balanced cable grounds are commonly configured.
Tara Labs employs a different approach. The cable shield is floating and requires the HFX unit and both cables drain wires connected together at the opposite end to complete the circuit. The drain wire lead from the HFX then dumps any residual noise left over from the Ceralex compound in the HFX into the external ground, in this case, the wall AC receptacle.
My system is extremely quiet without this arrangement. I am merely complying with the requirements of the Tara Labs' wide bandwidth design.
