i originally did my dedicated lines in a previous abode with a seperate ground rod though my secondary box was bonded to the main box. It sounded significantly better. Then a kind soul on audio asylum described with word s and pictures the mechanism by which a lightning strike would preferentially kill my system. I proptly went to a single house ground without significant degredation of the sound.
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.
