[QUOTE="Schalk, post: 877156, member: 541"] Hi Mick, Not dangerous at all. In one position the circuit earth is connected to mains earth, and in the other position only mains earth is connected to the chassis. Therefore the chassis is always connected to mains earth. Circuit earth in the off position then refers to the actual earth of the amplifier it is connected to. You might find a bit less hum in the one position. But beware, placing the Whisper on a shelf directly above or below your amplifier might have hum induced via electromagnetic coupling. If placed on the same shelf as your amplifier, it is best to have the Whisper to the right hand side of the amplifier. Gerhard in Pfaffenhoven/Munich left here with your requested signal earth knob.
