I didn't actualy measure if their grounds were bound together. I wish I did. Oh well, Now I got a pair of nice optical-UTP converters flying in... *sigh*

It only happens when I touch the 2 of them at the same time. So it's not like I get charged by touching the one, and then discharging when touching the other. I really get a _shock_, as in, real electricity flowing through me. I know how that feels, it's not the first time :) i like to play with things I shouldn't be playing with, haha. My house doesn't has grounding at all, all power outlets have only 2 wires to them, blue and brown, so no yellow-green. That is why I can only ground my audio by making a separate wire to the radiator. But that got me worried, as all the radiators in the house are connected, and the memory of the ~*zap*~ was still very vivid. So euhm.... but anyways, thanks for the explanation about the UTP cabling being decoupled by transformers. -- Heimiko Transporter -> XLR -> Electrocompaniet AW100 DMB -> Dynaudio Audience 122 + BK Monolith Analog modded SB3 -> tube buffer -> Trends Audio TA-10 -> Eltax Monitor III ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Heimiko's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3462 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=38480 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
