Isolated Ground electrical outlets ???


I was told that it's the ground that carries the noise. ,and the best thing to do is to run a seperate ground to an isolated ground outlet for your audio system.

Is there any benefit to using an isolated ground outlet in a regular box and how would it work Thanks!

I was told that an isolated ground to a specific outlet will only work if that outlet is on a dedicated circuit. Other than with a dedicated circuit, you can set up a ground loop, or even worse, a voltage differential between that outlet's grounding, and the main ground. Such a condtion could result in not only increased noise, BUT A POTENTIAL VOLTAGE CONDUCTED ALONG THE GROUNDING WIRES! What sayeth you, Sean? Happy Tunes!
