A few posts back you mentioned the armored cable (AC) being run up the OUTSIDE wall? Do you mean the cable was run on the exterior of your house? If so, that is a violation of the National Electric Code and should be replaced by the contractor who did it. Have them install EMT conduit with over-sized #10 wires and a separate ground wire.
There's another problem with using AC cable. The ground is the casing and it sux to begin with, but will especially once it corrodes from being outside!
You could also have a separate "isolated" ground conductor installed in addition to the normal ground wire. The isolated ground would be run directly to the ground rod for the service and be connected to a special isolated ground receptacle in your listening room.
Have fun.
