I'm probably just paranoid, but...
You are operating in a zone where the "Theory of Natural Selection" has been rendered extinct by the "American Legal System"...
I fully agree with your take on lifting the ground, but for the above-mentioned reason, SUGGESTING its benefits is about as far as I wanted to go.
Even though manufacturers like Lamm make it really easy to isolate the ground, I am always surprised to see expensive systems, complete with expensive mains cables, and in some cases even so called "dedicated circuits", sharing the electrical ground with the microwave oven !!!
The heavy-duty disclaimers audio manufacturers include in the operators manuals probably de-suade quite a few from ever considering an isolated ground.
Having said this much, there are of course "approved" ways of isolating the ground.
I can already imagine a nice polite Romy the Cat disclaimer...
