Any comments on Synergistic Research Atmosphere

I had 2 pairs of Synergistic Research new Atmosphere level 2 interconnects in my home last week. These cable are not actively powered, but has a lead that has to grounded to system A/C ground. They are $995 per pair and at this price I gave them a 5 star rating in my report to the cable company who loaned them to me.
My system consist of Sony 5400ES SACD player; McCormack LD2
preamp, Odyssey Khartago power amp, REL B2 subwoofer, Vienna
acoustics Hadyn Grand stand mounts. Vibration control by Symposium Acoustics and room treatment by Real traps.

hi folk. my question this time was about the grounding cable that comes Atmosphere level 2 interconnects that are not actively powered. In this case could the lead be connected to my power bar?

So in the case of grounding connections to cables the same logic actually applies -- the ultimate ground should be on the same spur as the components but not the same outlet. It will work if you just plug into the power bar but it will sound better if the ground connection is not shared with any active components at all i.e. dedicate a power bar just to plugging in all of your grounds and have this connected to its own socket in a duplex.
