Generally speakiong you want to ground locally, as otherwise the cabling used to affect grounding can pick up noise and make matters worse, rather than better. If you want to introduce more complex grounding schemes you really have to know what you are doing. In fact, the ground (neutral) wire in a bunch of interconnects from one component to another introduces inductive loops that transform electromagentical variations (i.e. 50/60 Hz fields) into currents that flow round the loops. So today's standard with left and right separate interconnects is less than ideal. Try to run your L & R leads as close to each other as possible, to minimise the area of these loops! -- P Floding ------------------------------------------------------------------------ P Floding's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2932 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28307 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
