How do you determine if you have a good ground? If I had a bad ground wouldn't my UPS note this as a ground fault?

How do you check polarity of the outlets?

Also according to the voltage display on my Panamax Max 1000+ line conditioner wattage is just under 120.

This whole thing kind of makes me think that they had to compromise on the quality of the transformers they used in the 7700 to keep the build cost down. Shows why a lot of amp companies use one very well shielded transformer instead of two less shielded ones. Also shows why Lexicon builds power conditioning circuits right into their amps and why they are so expensive.

Unfortunately, there is no noticeable performance difference between the B&K and the Outlaw, in which case I'm leaning towards returning the Outlaw and keeping the B&K.

Since the B&K does not have this issue.
