Hi folks,
The floating ground had me puzzled, cautious and intrigued. but this shed alot of light on the subject ... thanks ... and it explains why SR chose the somewhat odd color 'Orange'
So it occurs to me, the floating ground is not really of benefit if you have a dedicated power (incl ground) for you audio gear like me. In other words, the isolated ground is isolated from the cimmon ground network of your building, which certainly is very likely to carry a lot noise.
So my summation is it is safe to use if wired correctly, by connecting to at least one building ground/earth.
So now I'm wondering how else this differs from the blue outlet.
I am suspecting that SR may have this made with its 'magic' treated materials and components to SR specs by someone like Pass & Seymour.
And I have enough SR gear to be quite confident its not snake oil.
Cheers
