Ooooooh dear, wish I had known this. 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.
