Marty's comments are in keeping with the procedure I used when building about a half dozen cables. The grounding wire was only connected at the wall, NOT at the amp. The idea is to drain away from the amp.
Technical Help with DIY Power cords, Please?
Hi everybody -
I'm going to be building power cords for a pair of monoblocs and I'll be using 12-guage shielded stranded conductors. I've made plenty of power cords before for tools, but never used shielded wire. I hate to sound so ignorant, but should the shield be tied to the grounding conductor, left to float, or some other configuration? Any help greatly appreciated.
