Whit	Re: rules for a quiet amp Ricky, I think of the shielding as part of the chassis myself, which itself is one large shield. From my perspective, I connect all shielding to the chassis (one end only) and run a separate buss or star grounding for the circuit ground, which is isolated from the chassis. Finally, at one big central bolt, the mains ground, signal ground buss and chassis all meet. Yes, a DC filament supply can float happily, although some folks like to reference it to ground, either thru a resistor or a cap. Hope that helps... ... Whit
