Re: How you get the fancy idea of detached ground rods for your audio?

I'm a neophyte at this, let's get that out of the way first.

I assumed, or had read, that much of the problem (for me glare and glassy nature at the top end) came from ground noise. A residential electrician I spoke to thought that most of it probably came from the "hot", but he was willing to do the seperate grounding rod at that time. Glad I didn't ask him to. He probably didn't know better and would have done it. Other posters here, including Al Sekela, have said it's very dangerous in the event of a lightning stike.

I have a few strikes ahainst me, as I have CD's, not vinyl; like rock and adult contemp music, and like it pretty loud; have revealing Thiel 2.4 speakers, and at 87 db, have settled on Solid State amp for power (ayre); use BAT tube pre-amp and Cardas GC and GR IC's and Speaker wire.

Thanks,

-Tim
