Don't do it! You are creating a ground loop! Your gear is best grounded through each component's ac cable!
Is grounding with RCA is safe?
Hello,
I would like to ask if grounding with RCA is safe? What I have done is I solder one end the wire to the surround area of the RCA male plug (not to it's core) and the other end to the ground prong on the 3-prong male AC plug.
Then I plug the RCA male plug to a female RCA on pre-amp , amplifier, DAC and the AC plug to the wall.
I can hear the sound quality improvement and want to leave it like this.
My question is if this setup is safe for audio equipment?
Thank you.
