That by itself doesn't cure ground loops and it doesn't cure
the negative lead damage problems if the power supply has a
ground path other than exclusively through the negative lead
to the rig, so the negative of the supply still must float
from ground everywhere except at the rig. The audio line
grounds still need isolated too if they run between gear
that is connected to power lines, like computers and such.
