I've always believed in the star approach and completely agree with the
series circuit issue.

Well Jim and I are at 100% opposite positions on this point.
Bonding from equipment to equipment is a series circuit in which the
voltage divides across each value of R. Thus none of the equipment
will be at zero potential.
By using a bond conductor from each piece of equipment to a common
point, this provides a star system which is endorsed by most audio and
system design specialists. It provides the lowest resistance as all
conductive paths are parallel.

Bonding to a common point may not cure hum and buzz.
Follow the advice of Jim Brown K9YC and bond from equipment to
equipment - following the path of the shields on unbalanced audio
cables and RF coax.
