Hi PB,
Is there something I should be reading that would help me rather than watching youTube? All my work is confined to audio amps, preamps, phono stages, disc players, cassette decks and guitar amps. It's all my equipment, and I have a lot of it.
I understand there can be a different potential between earth ground and a ground in the audio circuit. But I thought the chassis and RCA shells were usually tied to earth ground? What is it that I don't understand correctly?
Mcandmar,
Thanks for the information. I have a shortwave, AM/FM radio that is probably 65 years old. It has an ungrounded, non-polarized plug on it. I imagine that is the kind of thing you are talking about. But again, I thought any amp with an exposed metal chassis (like a McIntosh MC275) has it's chassis connected to the center pin of the mains cord. I am going to get my miultimeter out and test my
hypothesis.
