I have several components to my system grounded that aren't normal (like a TT) & in each case the result is similar & beneficial.

I just purchased Hawthorne SI OB drivers. I've taken a single strand of CAT5 and taped it to the stamped basket & ran the other bare end into the Neg post of the X-over's speaker binding posts.

Do this!!!!!! its incredible. I've read small drivers may not benefit...i'd try them all though. Sub owners must try this!!!

I have 2 Lovan racks that are also grounded. My TV sits on one & the gear sits on the other. In between the 2 is my amp sitting on a board on the carpet. I have NO clue why this works, but grounding the TV rack brings about an audible loss in background noise. Its GRND wire is attached to an outlet on a difft circuit. My gear's rack wire is attached to the phono preamp grnd lug.

I've also grounded the 2 transformers inside my TVC preamp & those run to the phono grnd as well.

the effect is almost like when you damp something properly - the bass gets better, the rest of the presentation 'falls in line' so to speak.

weird stuff but effective...
