ground on rb 985?

[jorgen68]

Hello i've changed the powercord on my rb985 to a supra lorad cable.I've installed a new power inlet on the amp with a ground pin.should i use it or not.is there any gain(improvement in the sound) in grounding the rb 985.i am currrently running it without grounding since thats how i'ts originally was constructed.

I can't answer your question directly, but one thing to check is does the Amps IEC connector (power in) have a middle earth pin? If it does, I'd use a 3 wire cord with earth, if it doesn't a 2 wire will suffice as the earth is obviously not necessary.

the amp doesent have a connector originally. i put one in to be able to use the supra lorad power cable.the supra cable is shielded and must be grounded.

The iec connector i've put in have a groundpin is there any risk\benfit in using it.since the original design of the amp is without grounding.

Sorry, I mis-read your post.
If the original design didn't use a ground, then I wouldn't change the setup.
The power cord shield will still be effective if its grounded at the wall outlet end.

Then i think i just leave it as is then.cheers! 8)
