Grounding ?


Guys,

I currently have a cheater plug on my amplifier which made a substantial difference in clarity and focus. I read somewhere that the amp should be grounded and to use a cheater plug on another unit. Which component should I use the cheater plug on, Pre, CD player or DA?

Thanks,

A cheater plug is a good idea for testing. Not sure if its a good idea to use it permanently. To float the grounds in my system, I put a piece of electrical tape on the ground prong of the IEC connector on my transport and DAC. That way when I plug in the power cord, there is no contact for the ground. My preamp is passive, my TT uses a two prong power cord, so the only gear using three prong connector is the amps.
