Post Subject: The "neutral" still ends at the common "ground"Posted by Paul S on: 12/22/2008

In a nutshell, the "neutral" white wire in your AC system is not really "neutral", but it is usually dirty with noise. This is not really an issue for a refridgerator or a toaster, but it is for the hi-fi. And no matter where you put the dedicated "ground" wire for your hi-fi, the neutral (2nd, wider prong on the AC plug) still runs back to the main service neutral/ground bus, where it ties to everything else in the house/building/block.
Best regards,
Paul S
