Thanks Francois and others that have answered. My system indeed is
designed for grounded outlets. As F. Yves Le Gal says, the Linn especially
warns in the manual that I should use a grounded outlet. I had never taken
this thing seriously until this thread.

What are "differential breakers"? If I could know the concept or perhaps
what kind device is in question I will buy it ASAP. Google didn't help
much.. I'll also try to find an english speaking electrician in these
woods that would undertand my quest for differential breakers.. I have
this newly acquired buddy that builds amps (valve stuff) so perhaps he
might know also.


**I am unfamiliar with the term 'differential breakers', but I would bet
that it refers to a core balance circuit breaker, which detects any
difference between active and neutral current flow. Any difference indicates
that current is flowing to earth. Either through a leaky path (a human,
perhaps) or the earthing on the appliance itself.



Thanks Trevor, Francois explained the same thing I guess. I will either
draw a gorunded line from the nearest grounded outlet in the house to
the hifi room now, or get these devices (looks as though they are
special kind of outlets of a sort).
