New outlets on some cd players


Been seeing new marantz cd players without ground pin...what gives?...regular iec still good.

yogiboy is speaking of osha safety requirements.  This has nothing to do with the quality of sound you can expect.

So it all comes down to the design engineers.  Can they design a system that performs well without the availability of a solid ground (other than the neutral). 

I haven't seen high end components without a ground.
