The Cyndustries List

Howdy! 

If you want to use another brand of power supply that will work as long as
the grounds from the two separate systems are connected.

This has nothing to do with the third wire on the mains plug, and 
nothing to do with
grounding to the physical case of the SixPacs themselves.
Not recommended because you will add noise to your system.


Instead, please visit the following link and please see below...

(This link is available from either of our power supply pages on the 
website).

On the circuit board of each of the power supplies there is a "0 Volts" 
center output pin
between the plus and minus 15 volt output pins... This is the Ground 
that you do want.

These center pins from each supply need to be connected.  For this 
reason we have our
famous green banana jack on the front panel of our power supplies, and 
Serge has a black
banana jack on their cases.

you can simply plug a banana cable from one power supply to the other.
if your other brand of power supply has no green Grounding jack then you 
can simply
add one by drilling a 5/8 inch hole and adding one.

Black is actually the technically correct color, (as seen on the Motm 
jack interface panel)
 but I chose green as in "red is Right channel" and "Green is Ground" (a 
North American
mains standard color).

The green stripe at the bottom of the Banana Cable ordering Page offers 
a "Grounding kit"
which should provide everything you need.

Best Wishes and hope this addresses everything!
