I got the TS Slider Kit. In earlier kits Bruce was using the insulating washers and grounding bus wire. He now grounding the RCA jacks directly to the chassis. He says found that grounding to the chassis is the best method.

It really depends. I do not like using the chassis as the signal ground. When I do ground a signal the chassis, it is at one point, in the manner that Tom states. It does not introduce multiple ground paths. I have no hum in any of my equipment, and it is dead quiet.

I always thought best practice is to float the signal ground through a 10ohmm resistor

That was Nelson Pass's trick. Another way is do an AC ground through a capacitor. Any way that prevents a career in hum chasing is valid.

Amen to that.
