@dweller  , I actually turn the dedicated circuit breaker off for my system because it is easier to access than my outlets, but something nasty could always sneak up when one was out of the house or asleep.  
Surge protector
@erik_squires  , forgive me if I am missing something really obvious, but I will preface my question with the excuse that I am, at this point in my life, more than half blind, and not only that, my reading comprehension is getting worse as I age; ...

A stupid question(s) about power cords
I’m pretty sure Marantz knows how to wire their equipment before sending it to US. @hasmarto , I was not saying that they didn't.  I was just asking if there was a downside to having an equipment ground wire connected to the neutral bus bar if ...
