I revisited some old posts in various forums and platforms and I saw that many folks talked highly of the results they got when they have their system grounded.
I used to believe in that quite a lot but as the years went by, more and more devices and "pro tips" related to cleaning power, reducing noises, improving fidelity etc.... seemed to be way less consistent than I first thought, not to mention plenty of them were exposed as snake-oil products, or at the very least they had a misleading and inaccurate description.

I'm not an EE and I have very limited knowledge of how electricity works, but my main thought at the moment is if I can't hear noises or weird sounds, I shouldn't bother to think about grounding. Please broaden my knowledge and tell me why it should/shouldn't work.

There is even loop and star ground. For safety, better follow the instruction.
