thx for the ideas...Ive read printed articles from Michael Elliot former pres/designer of Counterpoint gear..that all that needs to be grounded is one component in your system and that the cables/interconects serve to ground the rest thus eliminating the dangerous electrocution possibility. What I would like to know, if anyone knows, is that say I have my amps plugged into one Power Wedge and all the amps are cheated including the Power Wedge itself, and I have all my other sources into another power wedge on a different circuit..all also cheated...as long as one this Power wedge is grounded is that safe?
