Sorry for posting a bit of kindergarten trivialities but maybe someone without a dedicated line yet will find it motivating.
I've finally connected my dedicated lines which took me ages. The lines are connected right behind the power meter
and have their separate safety breakers. All the grounds are star connected in the distribution box and then with is
a single 16mm2 starnded wire to the houshold ground of my apartment (again right at the power meter). I'm in an apprtment block
so no chance for a dedicated ground.
I also have a 6mm2 solid core available for grounding which will be tested.
My EAR834RtC is connected to one line,
Stax amp to another and TT motor to the ordinary household socket.
The sound impressions
are probably best described by the Romy's picture in the very first post which has started this thread.
In particular: the sound became generally less ear f*cking, most of the artificial edges and hallos are gone, more liquid,
musical lines are much easier followed; headstage is wider and deeper, better separation both stereo and of sounds, e.g. vinyl surface noise does not amalgamate with some passages of music into an unpleasant mixture; better macro dynamics, the feeling is that the system plays louder
string musicians finally sound like they play music and not try to saw their instruments in halves.
Very addictive change actually. LP's pass one after the other 
Cheers,
N-set
