Grounding

Many years ago I heard that it was sufficient to ground your equipment in the center screw of a wall socket?

Presently my G is run to a metal rail on balcony which is set in concrete.

Any recommendations on how to best ground ones equipment when living in an upper floor aptment?

Thanks all---R

+1 to the latest comments by Mofi and Jim (Jea48), including and especially the second paragraph in Jim's post. The intent of that terminal is to allow connection of the ground wire of a turntable. It is not intended for connection to an earth ground. See the diagram on page 6 of the manual.

Thanks for replies. If i have this right then, it is not necessary to ground my 395.

"If I have this right then, it is not necessary to ground my 395."

That is correct.

It appears that the only thing i did was ground my porch railing into the Denon. I am going to listen tonight for the first time with it unhooked and see if there is a difference. Of course everything recorded onto DAT or Cassette with it hooked up would have been affected.
