@riverboat. The answer is No if the same power strip also has the Atmosphere plugged into it, but yes if the power strip is on a separate leg of the same duplex as the Atmosphere power supply and is shared with other components.
It’s easiest to think of it this way. The At,o sphere should always be connected to a duplex outlet with one connection (power) to one half of the duplex and the other (ground) to the other half. Either half can share the connection with any other components without concern.
