Default Re: Philips N4450

I've not done anything yet, but my current (!) thought is to fit a 3 core cable. There is a clearly marked earth screw inside the machine (not on the outside where it might have been for earthing, say, a pickup arm cable). As I mentioned I don't _have_ to use the earth wire externally.

Thinking some more, I feel that the common method of avoiding earth loops by using the audio cable screen as the earth continuity conductor is plain wrong. There has to be a better way to do it! I am happier if things -- particularly things with a lot of exposed metalwork as here -- are earthed.
