Grounding

+1 to the latest comments by Mofi and Jim (Jea48), including and especially the second paragraph in Jim's post. The intent of that terminal is to allow connection of the ground wire of a turntable. It is not intended for connection to an earth ground. See the diagram on page 6 of the manual.

Geoffkait,

I am surprised you didn't recommend the 10 gal pot filled with dirt idea. Sounds like a winner to me. Good rich black organic dirt installed in a copper pot. Just remember to add water to keep the soil moist. What type of plant would you recommend be planted in the pot? I would imagine a marijuana plant would give a relaxed laid back sound.

Thanks for replies. If i have this right then, it is not necessary to ground my 395.

"If I have this right then, it is not necessary to ground my 395."

That is correct.

It appears that the only thing i did was ground my porch railing into the Denon. I am going to listen tonight for the first time with it unhooked and see if there is a difference. Of course everything recorded onto DAT or Cassette with it hooked up would have been affected.
