Electret mics can in theory produce a tiny signal even without power, but I don't think that's the case. More probably the mic pics ups some signal from the amplifier/speaker by magnetic induction. Regarding using the city water (or central heating pipes, or whatever) as a security ground: DON'T DO THAT. It would be illegal in almost all places, and you could easily kill or injure yourself or others if anything goes wrong. Ciao, -- FA A world of exhaustive, reliable metadata would be an utopia.
