I have tried it, and it does work, but sometimes connection gets a
little wobbly, and TP starts rebuffering. Even if it's still a pause
for less then a single second, it's still annoying. If I can have a
nice cable without any possibility of buffer unde

You should not operate most modern computer-type equipment without a
three wire grounded outlet. Without some sort of ground, the shunt
capacitors in the power line filter (entry module) of some equipment
will "float" the chassis to 1/2 the mains voltage. This might be the
shock you're feeling!
Thanks, I'll look into it. It's not gonna be an easy task by any means:
i'm living in an appartment on the 3rd floor, so there's no crawl
space, and surtainly no way to pin a ground rod into the dirt below.
But I do know the risks of not having any ground in the house (which is

Heimiko,
You need to hire an electrician immediately to ground your outlets - at
least the ones where you have devices with metal enclosures plugged in,
but preferably all of them.
To save money you can alternatively install GFI breakers directly in
place of a 2-prong outlet, instead of install

Ooh dear, wish I had known this. I didn't actualy measure if their

Great info sean, that puts me at rest as well.

Ethernet is not your problem here - it's transformer coupled so it will
not carry a DC voltage or create a ground loop (assuming you're using
normal unshielded cable). I did not realize you were trying to solve a
real problem here - I thought you were trying to do an "audiophile
hack".
I am not c
worried about grounding issues. i don't want the ground of my PC hanging
on the same ground as my audio. I noticed whenever I touch my PC, and
touched my radiator (which has another ground) i get a shock. The only
way to get my audio "grounded" is through one of the radiators in the
same room, so
Isn't 10/100BT already transformer isolated?

Kind of costy, a pair of those.

This is what i understand to be an optical isolator, but i don't think
it's what you are looking for.

It is a passive ecelctonic component, not a piece of networking

And, this optical isolator, you mean, it has 2 UTP connectors on it, and
internally it isolates them by optical? or what do you mean? do you
have a link?

Hi,
Stab in the dark. Why not use an opto isolator from the pc? Put it in
between the in and output of the PC. That could get rid of junk noise.
Costs pennies but may work.

Hello All,
I would like to further isolate my audio system from my computer.
They are now on different electrical groups (sections) of my house.
I do have my computer's digital output connected to the toslink input
of my TP, but it's optical, so it's oke.
The single connection which links my audi
