Yes, Crown is aware of it and says it's normal. Yes, it's potentially dangerous to some degree, but you're on a GFCI outlet so that's providing you the safety.

Hey Brian, I have Crown Itech HDs and have never had an issue using them with my spider box's GFCI outlets, but I was also made of this issue years ago. I read this thread awhile back to confirm and learn more: https://forums.prosoundweb.com/index.php/topic,172049.10.html
Now that Crown is aware, I see that you said they suggested doing a ground lift. How did/do you actually accomplish that? And how is this done safely? Any insight here would be greatly appreciated.

With the little plastic "grounded outlet adapter" that used to sell for 99 cents each.

Mine has an old price sticker of 49 cents on it that I got from my grandparent's house. Pretty sure it's older than me. LOL,. They used to be quite common in homes that didn't have grounded outlets.
