 That's one way to almost create a star grounding pattern electrically. Now, 
did you reference your audio ground to that same breaker box? A potential 
ground loop situation could be if you are using more than one outlet in the 
same duplex rectacle, then there "can" be a shorter p > No /more problems 
path between the two devices on that outlet than the star grounding.

Pun intended?? Yes, very nice indeed. I wish I could do the same at my
current location. I just turn off the A/C before every take, eliminating 
racket from the electrical and from air flow in the studio.
