Hi,
Thanks too everybody who responded...much appreciated. I'll answer your questions below:
Tvad - That's a good idea, thanks for suggesting that.
Nerspellsner - Good info. The building was constructed 1910-1920 which means they'd have to run new wire for the plug.
Dc2daylight - We do have capped gas lines in our house ;-) Seems as if I'm in for more work here than just wiring! And yes, rent control is nice.
Gunbei - Parking is great for me but I might trade it for grounded wiring!
Stehno - I'll try for the wiring and audio-grade outlet (he's a techie too!) but in the mean time how can I get my rig up and running? Right now, everything is plugged into surge protection. Can I then plug that into this:

and then into the wall?
Thanks,
Jon
