ground the outlet or not??


Guys - I have the Equi-tech cabinet mount power center with an earth ground- I am about to install the Furutech NCF outlets and someone mentioned to me that I should NOT hook up the ground wires to the Furutech outlet- Just cut it off before the  outlet box-box- Does this make sense or not - thks

Isolated Ground Receptacles. Isolated ground receptacles shall be permitted as described in 250.146(D); however, the branch-circuit equipment grounding conductor shall be terminated as required in 647.6(B).647.8 Lighting Equipment. Lighting equipment installed under this article for the purpose of reducing electrical noise originating from lighting equipment shall meet the conditions of 647.8(A) through (C.      Bravo jea48, I'm glad you are here,  you gave proof of my post here,  drops the noise floor is exactly what I hear on my system,  other than safety,  I use all three of the 10/3 romex electrical cable on my furutech gtx-rhodium NCF outlet's and furutech gtx-rhodium original outlet's,  cheers jea48.
Also jea48, I read both your post,  I agree whole heartily! , great read, I will tell you all here,  what jea48 posted here is code,  and the truth , especially concerning the op's topic post. 
Makes no sense whatsoever. What the Equi-Tech does is supply power in the same manner as a 2-pole 240 volt circuit only at 120 volts. You still need the grounding conductor on 240 volt outlets as Jea48 nicely summarizes the code and safety issues.

Before you hook up balanced 120 volt to your equipment, I would check with the manufacturer to see if they have any warranty objections. With balanced 120v there are now two current carrying conductors, so there should be a fuse on the equipment mains neutral as well as the hot. If you look at amplifiers with split primary power transformers (to operate at 120 or 240 volts) they have two mains fuses. If it runs at 120, only one fuse protects since the neutral is at zero volts but when converted to 240 the neutral is at 120 volts and therefore a short in the amp power supply will draw current from both legs, hence the reason for the second fuse. The same thing will happen with balanced 120, only the potential is 60 volts.
