Grounding cable gauge size

Interesting. I have always separated the ac grounding from the signal grounding.

Agree Ozzy, but with your meter you may be surprised that the  signal grounding is part of the chassis which may also be the AC grounding. Pull your power cable and check the exterior or the RCA connectors to the ground plug and you may find they are the same.

bugremachine,

You are probably right about the rca ground being the same as the chassis ground. But my personal experience has not been good when I mixed the chassis ground and the signal ground. In several cases I got hum.

My solution has been and is now to keep them separate. Perhaps some time, I will check it with an ohm meter.

Question: Are you also referring to the ground on the AC outlet being the same as the signal ground?

Thank you Ozzy for trying this stuff and reporting your results, I think it was you that put me onto the Puritan power filiters which continue to wow me.

Just read an Analog Corner article from Nov 2021 on electrical wiring that I thought might interest:

Thank you. It is refreshing to be able to post on audiogon without the various crazies chiming in.
