Ungrounding an Amp--Any Danger?


My integrated amp, a Creek A50i, has a bit of humming. I was about to experiment with removing the ground from my power cord when I saw the sign on the back of the amp that said "This apparatus must be earthed."

Is there any danger (to me or the amp)associated with removing a ground? I will gladly put up with a bit of hum if it means not getting shocked or frying my equipment.

By all means, contact the factory or authorized dealer/tech about the problem. Until then, just put up with the a little hum. No doubt this can be repaired or corrected. Just my 2 cents.
