Hello,
I consider to add a NAD C298 to my Marantz SR7011 receiver in favor of the front speakers, hoping that that will be a significant and audible upgrade to the system. There are a couple of thinks holding me back for the moment, it is an additional box, some doubt if it is really audible and of course it is costing money.
However .... , there is one more issue, the issue which did me decide to start this thread. That is this warning in the NAD manual:
“WARNING For optimal performance, the C298 requires a grounded AC receptacle or a separate earth ground. Ensure the proper grounding of your system.”
And yep that is probably a good idea. However I do not have “earth ground” in my living room and it is not so easy to create one as well.
So my question is to share your experiences about / related to, a “not grounded C298".
Sincerely,
Louis
