Raul,
Thanks for bringing up the impedence matching there has been much written on the subject. Another part of the puzzle and a very important one at that. Your floating ground is another way to skin the cat. I think we all can learn as we explore system grounding,methods and theory.
Raul-You made some very interesting points here that are worth discussing in more detail. I wish someone would sketch out a reasonable method for grounding all of the gear in your system. Roger's method is way different than your method. Your method is more like Mike Elliott's reccomendation where only the preamp is tied to ground and all other componenets are left floating from earth ground and only tied to the preamp ground via the outer-shells of the RCA connectors.

Roger-I assume that your preamp has a 3 prong connector and you are not using a cheater plug on it. In addition to that, you took a piece of 10ga wire and crimped on spade lugs to both ends, attached one end to a screw on your preamp case and the other end attaches to the center screw that holds the wall plate to the electrical outlets?
I agree, this site is a good starting point for doing research in all sort of things electrical.
I had a phone conversation with a friend last night and told him what I did and so far the effect I have been experiencing with my system. He said I should get a Gauss meter and take a reading of the magnetic fields around my equipment. Now this is something I have no real knowledge about.
I'm doing a little research on Gauss and found this video.
There has to be a scientific explanation for the improvements of both the earthing and what others have heard ie the Tripoint Troy.
