I was told by one who seems to know much about this area that the ground can introduce much noise into a line. Alot depends on the quality of electrical installation and time period your residence was contructed and if a common ground is used, etc..
I am using a Foundation Research LC-2 in-line conditioner for my amp and an LC-1 for my source. The LC-2 was custom wired without a ground connect. I also floated the ground on my dedicated 20 amp outlet used for my amp and pre-amp and my non-dedicated 15 amp outlet used my source. I also installed some PS Audio power ports.
I don't know that much about electricity, but every electrical tweak I've made, I've noticed fairly substantial improvements in the lowered noise floor, soundstaging, and enhanced micro- and even macro-dynamics. But then it also depends on the transparency of your components. I'm not certain that an electrical tweak exists that would improve the sound of my am/fm clock radio.
