I had the same issue with my 1.2kw’s and the P10. Turns out it was the NAS I had plugged into the P10 (or maybe it was when I had the P5’s?)

I can't either and would not recommend it from a safety point of view, my post was just to clarify what a cheater plug is. While it can be a useful tool to help identify the potential source of a system ground loop it is generally not recommended as a permanent solution. Use at your own risk applies!
