Dekay, for digital and analog grounding the rule of thumb is to have the analog and digital circuits have separate grounds that tie together at one point. Therefore, I recommend you have your HTS2000 plugged into one outlet box essentially putting them in parrallel. Maybe worth a try. If it sounds better, great, if not, nothing too terribly difficult to undo.
power cords/surge protector-conditioner
New to all this, but recently bought a system and a Monster HTS 2000 power/surge conditioner. My question is whether or not power cords are needed or would make a difference or just duplicate what the HTS 2000 does? My system consists of Sim Moon I-5 integrated amp, Musical Fidelity A3cd player, and Gershman Acoustic Avante Garde speakers. I am using Analysis Plus Oval 9 speaker cable, as well as their oval interconnect. Any advice would be appreciated as I would like to optimize my system but do not want to spend the $ on power cords if there is not a need if Monster HTS 2000 does same thing. Thanks.
