I've moved into a new apartment. While replaceing the power outlet (used for my rig) with my Shynyata Research SR-Z1 outlet, I notices there was no ground wire. What impact with this have on my gear? Make note that I have the Rotel power conditioner.

It means you're likely to light yourself up if there's a) a wiring fault, b) equipment fault. If hot and neutral are reversed, its possible to have a live chassis (no path to earth) which can kill. Get an electrician to check the wiring, if it doesn't meet code, either get the landlord to bring it up to standard, or move.
Having said that, I think Rotel only use two prong power plugs, but I would still have an electrician check that the apartment meets regulations: you might have other issues, like with kitchen appliances, etc.- Mike
