Float the ground. Systems hooked to the same source of ac often have ground loop problems. Cable TV is a disaster, as it acts as a megaphone in 60cycle.
The ground is a safety precaution which is not necessary. Using another ac outlet will usually accomplish the same, unless of course you have the dreaded cable tv hooked into your hifi system, (yeah, yeah, its heresy, but it is fun to hear the air moving around in the studio while watching Letterman). HA!
