Older home & 2 prong outlets, Help No Ground?


A good friend is moving to an older home with all two prong outlets!

Of course, stereo, computers, etc all run with three and are for grounding, yes?

How does one prevent the exposure to electrical surges without grounding? Doesn't it need to be grounded to be safe?

Clearly confused,

i moved from georgia 7 months ago. i had a house built in 1904. i updated most all of the wireing. i just bought a house in south florida built in 1917. i am getting ready to revamp the wireing in this house as well. bottom line, you must update the wireing . good audio computers as you said, simply cannot survive in that climate.i am going with all dedicated lines to amps preamp etc. i also am putting in 240 lines to run the massive 800 watt triode tube amps. anybody want to hear that setup? i also will have the massive gryphon amps to compare the best tubes and the best ss on earth. i will have an audiophile party when i finish. 561-801-2510
