I stand corrected - I was refering to floating SHIELD not ground - so there is not really a safety issue. any comments on the sound? I don't think too many manufactures do their ICs this way, do they?
floating ground on ICs?
I'm about to embark on a DIY interconnect project - some have suggested a floating ground is a good idea - ie, connect the outershield to one end only, float the other - to draw noise away from the source components.
None of my components are 3 prong AC BTW -except maybe the TV. Is it safe to have an entire system that is just two-prong (sonographe/CJ SA250 is amp - uses hardwired zip cord - will upgrade that someday also.)
Anyone using floating grounds on ICS that can comment on the safety and sound issues ? Planning to make ICs for DAC > preamp and preamp > amp.
