lion	Re:Still confused – maybe Randall Aiken? Thank for the replies Dave and David! "It can be confusing because all the wires are called "ground" but only the first star point is bolted to the chassis. This is the "star ground". The second star point isn’t bolted to the chassis. It’s connected to the "star ground" by a wire." Well, yes – maybe. But isn’t that just a "normal" one-point star ground with local common preamp stage ground homeruns??? The way I read it – this is not what RA describes. So I’m still confused – maybe Randall Aiken could chime in and set things straight. That would be nice! regards Lion
