OK guys.  Forgive my electronics ignorance, but are you saying that if I install line filters on my 20 I can eliminate the need for a dedicated ground wire?  I had been looking for cloth braided three wire line cord to satisfy the need for a ground path.  Also, with the y caps in place would there be any advantage to also installing an X cap across the lines?  I have a donor chassis for a bakelite block and it seems the Y cap filters would be the easier way to go.  I never stop learning from you gurus on this site!  Take care, Gary
