I spoke to an electrical engineer who said that both dedicated lines as well as dedicated grounds can cause ground loop noise even if everything is grounded to one common utility ground poll. He recommended having as many stereo units on one line as possible. Is there any logic to this?
Separate ground for dedicated line
I would like to install a dedicated line or 2 with a separate ground. Would installing a ground rod in my crawl space and running two ground wires from the outlet (1 to the rod and the other to the main breaker box) be acceptable in terms of tying the grounds together? I am not certain where the main ground is located since the power feed to the house is buried with no exposed cables.
I need to do something as the stereo is on a noisy 14 guage lighting circuit. Thanks.
