Grounding Metal Outlet Boxes and Isolated Ground Receptacles
EDIT:* For 120V audio equipment that is connected together by wire interconnects all audio equipment should be fed from the same Line, leg, in the electrical panel. ALL from L1 or all from L2. NOT from both.This may not be practical, electrically ... 
Grounding Metal Outlet Boxes and Isolated Ground Receptacles
First, I assume cdrc’s comments are directed at stickman451.Second I believe the electrician stickman451 hired is a licensed electrician. I determined that to be the case by the posts of the OP when describing the wiring methods and materials used... 
Shortest rock song with lyrics....

slight hum in turntable...A little advice please.
You might try connecting a ground wire from the metal platter bearing support to the phono preamp ground terminal/lug.

Interconnects, some have directional indicators, why?
Al, (almarg),Thanks for your response. I missed the line voltage for the amp is 240V. I went back and reread the post and sure enough the OP said it was 240V for the new amp as well.Here is the thread. scroll down to bflowers first post on the thr...

Kijanki,Thanks for the response.I had already read about the Poynting vector  after you posted about it on another thread last week. I supplied the link for others reading your previous post.Jim

mihorn said: I wrote that here to show it can be tested and see the truth while you are guessing negatively. Please show me one post of mine where I said fuses could not be directional. I do not have any opinion on fuse directionality, one way or... 
Interconnects, some have directional indicators, why?
mihorn said: I have copper rods instead of fuses in my few components. Copper rods in the correct direction always sound better. I am an audiophile, not an electrical engineer. What protection do you have in the event of an overload or ground faul... 
Interconnects, some have directional indicators, why?
Either way its a red herring and has nothing to do with directionality nor suggests a means for directionality. I never said it did. I said AC current does not flow in a circuit. AC does not flow back and forth in a circuit. “The usually accepted...

atmasphere said: That energy cannot exist without the current flow. You are correct in that electromagnetism is always there but it can’t exist without current! This link might help sort things out for you:Quote from Link below:"Those of you who f... 
Interconnects, some have directional indicators, why?
The fuse is a weakest link. In a garden hose, only narrowest part of hose counts to pass the max water. A weakest link is very sensitive. What has happened in the weakest link is amplified huge later. A sound system is only as good as its weakest ... 
Interconnects, some have directional indicators, why?
mihorn,My post was in response to this part of your post; That includes fuses in > 30~40 years old vintage gears. Switching the direction of the fuse, the electrical current takes longer time (and subtle) to hear the effect because many active ...
