Well, my amplifier certainly ash an earth connection (and so does my

Could you possibly provide details of the isolating line transformer,
please? (My work laptop is eathed and causes some 'interesting' noises
when mains powered.)



I was going to post a suggestion that you simply lift the earth on a
suitable extension lead, but then considered that it would most likely lead
to an hubristic outburst from the bed-wetters here, like Pucci.....

So, perhaps I won't bother....
