....that deal specifically with audio and grounding (below link). He confirmed his finding by using an Oscilloscope.You're joking, right?
The only measurement he made was between the ground pin on an AC recepticle and a water pipe! The guy hasn't a clue.
As I said before, audio component are like any other electronic equipments.
This guy didn't measure any audio components! He measured his water pipe! All the rest was sighted subjective listening of the sort which also tells us that placing photographs of yourself in your freezer also improves the sound of your system.
They can be subjected to noise thru AC lines, locally (EMI), or terrestrially (RF).
Sure they can. But this "article" does absolutely nothing to establish that an actual earth ground has any particular relevance to an audio system.
I never said that communication is not possible without earth grounding. It just help to combat noise by "sinking" it, especially in an noisy environment.
Again, the earth isn't the magical one-way current sink that you imagine it to be.
It is a well known fact, especially to those who deal with low level communication signals :)
Yeah? Then it should be a simple matter to provide a more suitable reference establishing that fact than some audiophile with a 'scope who hasn't a clue what he's doing.
