Sean: That is pretty much my philosophy on the situation. I prefer to use the equipment as designed, but do want the best sound.
Given that the cable co. fails to fix the problem I am considering taking this to the extreme. Everything is plugged into a PLC except the amp. I have thought about floating the ground on it (and thus everything plugged into it). Then the amp would be the central gound point and the rest of the system grounded through it. Comments on whether this would be a good idea would be appreciated.
Of course, the $20,000 question is "Where does one buy a high grade cheater plug?"
Acas: That's what I said to the installer (admittedly out of frustration rather than actual knowledge), though it does seem they are in compliance with the National Electrical Code. It calls for the cable to be grounded at the entry point to the house. Unfortunately, the full text of the code is unavailable online except for a fee, so exactly what beyond that is required in as of yet an unknown. Any electricians out there that can help here? Thanks.
