Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site

I should add that disconnecting the "ground" wire as mentioned above will most likely not solve the issue.

It will likely also be necessary to ground the chassis of the components directly (to a nearby water pipe for example).

When grounding the chassis of components, consider also the issue of balanced and unbalanced interconnects.

In the case of unbalanced, find out if the sleeve is carrying chassis ground (use an Ohm meter). If I understand correctly the sleeve typically carries chassis ground.

For this reason, the manufacturer of the amps I use recommends using interconnects that have the connection to the sleeve/shield disconnected at one end... Which would mean tossing out the precious audiophile-approved interconnects, and making my own. Using such an interconnect would allow connecting each chassis directly to a grounding rod.
