Indeed you do, and I believe it may be on any leg (even the ground). In most homes it will be a small amount, but in some homes it can be higher. When motors from a refrigerator, washer/dryer, microwave, etc come online, the DC component can increase and even modulate the specs of some digital equipment. It can also cause transformers to hum. In fact, PS Audio advertised an item called a 'HumBuster' (http://www.psaudio.com/products/upchbmoreinfo.asp) that was specifically designed to remove the DC on an AC line. -- NewBuyer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ NewBuyer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7862 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30856 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
