Wonder if anyone's got some advice for me on grounding outlets?
I live in a rent house, & my second bedroom is my studio space. The whole house has two-prong outlets throughout, so it's unlikely there's a ground anywhere.
Since my studio equipment has three prongs, I switched out the outlets for the three-prong variety, attaching only the wires that were there, as there was no ground wire.
Of course, that didn't fix the problem of buzz & hum when I plug my acoustic guitar or bass directly in to the recorder (VS-880).
Has anyone dealt with a similar situation? Can you safely ground the outlets within the outlet box without going into the attic or the wall & generally tearing the place up?
