[QUOTE="croak, post: 46725, member: 361"] there should be an earth cable connecting to your wall socket. yes, on modern sockets all metal panel parts are mechanicaly and electrically linked to the earth pin. some older sockets have a separate earth post on the "plate". have you checked polarity (L and N) on the mains plug of the dynaco? can you measure a nice low resistance from plug earth pin to chassis? one mains outlet wired with 1.5 mm is good for 10A I think, 2.5 for 16A afaik. 16 * 220 is a lot of watts for a hifi unless class a (not b, D, H or T) amplifiers spitting out 150 watts plus are used...
