Back about 20 years or so, put in two twenty amp breakers and 2 dedicated lines from breaker to stereo location. A few years later, split one off to a koi pond and greenhouse. Two years ago went solar and new panel, dropped the breakers from twenty to fifteen amps. Never had a ground problem before or after. Back in the two prong power plug days, hum and noise was a constant problem, hours chasing the source and or fix. I use two Brick Wall surge suppressors and a Monster Power HTS 5100 for sources. With or without using the Monster there is no noise, the Monster looks better than an outlet strip. I like the voltage display on the Monster and it stays constant at 120V, unless it is July & 114 degrees outside.
