Logically one would think, you could eliminate ground
loops by disconnecting the power-cord grounds on all
your gear. Some people might try to break the ground
connection by cutting the grounding pin on the power cord,
using a cheater plug, cutting the ground wire inside the
equipment, taping over the grounding connector etc. As
logic predicts this may effect a cure for the noise.
Do not do this. Removing the ground connection
isn’t right! It is against electrical safety regulations and
potentially very dangerous. Removing a safety ground
connection can defeat the actions of the noise fi lter or spike
protector inside the equipment. If the ground connection is
cut then a fault in the insulation inside equipment may
apply dangerous voltages to the equipment case instead
of interrupting a fuse. Running without a power ground will
not automatically electrocute you but will make this much
more probable if something goes wrong in your system
