GROUND

Recommended Posts

I found a good article about ground. Less than 3 pages wink.gif

 

http://www.passlabs.com/downloads/articles/ground-loops.pdf

 

The summary:

 

It is better that the Safety AC power ground (chassis) and the Signal (Audio) ground not to be connected.

 

Disconnecting the power ground is not a good idea as it is potentially very dangerous.

 

Taken from the article, it is about unbalance RCA interconnect, how to make the right RCA interconnect with cable that shielded with 2 conductors:

 

"Shields are to keep stray noise out of component inputs;

the common or signal return is part of the signal path, two

opposed tasks. Because of these separate tasks your

cables should be directional, and the shields should be

part of the input circuit only. Shield ground should not be

connected on the source end of the wire, only at the input

component end; label them and don’t forget! This will of

course mean that at the input component end of cable the

shield and ground signal conductors will bond together."
