John, in your first post, did you mean the green wire that comes with the IEC socket? I could understand not "grounding" a component that wasn't previously grounded. However, if you meant the green wire in the power cord itself, I'm a little confused. Since I'll be using an IEC, I will not be using a hard wired wire. Please clear up what you mean in both of your posts. It sounds like good advise, I just dont understand when you are talking about the wire within the component, or the wires as in the power cable
Add an IEC socket..any negative effects?
Hello Ladies and Germs. I'm considering adding an IEC(MALE) input to my preamp, to get around the pathetic captive power cord. Are there any potentially negative effects? Obviously, if I knew what cord was the best (I'm not going to spend lots of money on the cord) it would be advantageous to connect it directly, without the IEC connectors. Apart from that caveat, are there any other reasons NOT to do it? The preamp currently has a 2 prong ac cord.
