>>"then the required "green wire" in the AC line should be tied to the power supply, not the radio.
I think we have missed the point. Any line powered device that has a conductive enclosure should have that enclosure bonded to the 'green wire'. It is a personnel safety issue. The KPA500 is line powered and has a metal enclosure. I see Jim's white paper does a good job of explaining this < http://audiosystemsgroup.com/SurgeXPowerGround.pdf>. The grounding discussion starts on page 10. The bottom of page 11 directly addresses this issue, but the complete discussion is very good.
