Separate ground for dedicated line


I would like to install a dedicated line or 2 with a separate ground. Would installing a ground rod in my crawl space and running two ground wires from the outlet (1 to the rod and the other to the main breaker box) be acceptable in terms of tying the grounds together? I am not certain where the main ground is located since the power feed to the house is buried with no exposed cables.
I need to do something as the stereo is on a noisy 14 guage lighting circuit. Thanks.

Find your breaker box. You'll find the pole ground there. If you want to drive a ground in your crawl space, make sure it is of the correct diameter and depth specified by your local code. It would work find.
My home uses below ground wiring but there is a rod by the house where the power comes up to the meter from the ground. Check around, you've got a meter somewhere.
Your neutrals are tied to pole ground back in the box on the neutral buss. All of your bare coppers from you home are there also.
I honestly don't think you will accomplish a lot by using a ground rod, however. Use a isolated ground recepticle, however, of hospital grade(preferably a Hubble)
