I used to own an amp (actually, I still do, but haven't used it in years) that would only work when grounded to itself...

So was it a Krell amp or are you using a Meridian system?...I am not sure but I think Radioshack will carry stuff that fits in a krell but with Meridian you'll have to go to Circuity City or best buy as their selection is better.

I know what that feels like.
I flip the garbage disposal switch while washing the dishes.
Pretty good zap. :Q

Yep, I've gotten shocked plenty of times. The most memorable was touching a live 220v circuit with wet hands and wet feet. Let's just say I learned how to the "El Techno" dance routine in a hurry.

So you come back to ATOT to post it?

lol, I'll have to try that...even after unplugging it I was afraid to touch it, so i pried it out with a plastic knife :)
