Audiophile's and there zeal to avoid noise forget about the safety aspect of a ground wire. Your equipment needs the ground (the bare copper wire) connected at the receptacle and directly back at the main breaker panel on the ground bus so you have a return path to trip the circuit breaker in the event your component has a short between the hot lead and the casework. Of course you must leave the ground prong on your equipment cable intact also...no cheater plugs.
ground connection on dedicated line?
I'm planning to install two 20A dedicated lines for my system and I'm wondering if the isolated ground on the receptacles should be connected to the general house ground, or to an independent ground. Any light you can shed on this would be appreciated.
Thanks much,
