Hi there, I can confirm that good earthing is absolutely critical. 1) On probably all your equipment there would be some connection via small capacitors from L->E & N->E to provide a high pass filter for high frequency noise to earth. 2) If a star grounding system is not used or any other grounding system which would form ground loops then you have a potential problem with induced noise eg mains hum. 3) A low impedance ground is critical(short and thick as possible earth cables because of skin effect)
Goldmund Star System grounding system
Has anyone tried this grounding system, goldmund claims you will benifit only if you have a good EARTH GROUND. Preamp will be the central grounding station:
*Ground preamp chassis to earth groung via PC or wire to ground of outlet(round prong)
*Ground SIGNAL ground to chassis or tie with wire going to earth ground.
*Remove all earth grounds from other equipment..source,amp. I suppose you would remove round plug at PC...but this would create a safety issue right.
*Attach a thick wire from source,amp,tuner to preamp.
Here you have "GOLDMUND STAR SYSTEM" it I think. Could all interested please check Goldmund.com and correct me if I'm wrong. I'm using a passive pre and the grounds for both channels are seperate and floating. Would this induce more noise. Has anyone tried this with success.
Thanks All!
