N-set, I am confused by this/your most recent post.  If you are saying you have discovered a "quiet condition" along with the desired curve and gain, then you are done, no?  If it works, it works; good for you; be thankful; leave it alone; congrats!


I somehow feel that my quiet solution is a half-ass solution, i.e. the need of a complete shield.
Redoing some chassis work/connections (my assumption that all the chassis is on the same potential was actually wrong)
did quiet the things a bit.

If you are still looking for a solution, surely you realize that all my suggestions require a special, dedicated ground to use as a "bleeder"; there are no floating "variants".


Yes, I understand that.
Yet, there is something I don't get in your method: while the chassis is on a dedicated ground and the signal
ground on the line neutral, there will be in general a potential difference between those two points. The signal ground-to-chassis
capacity closes the loop. Why not connecting both the chassis and the signal zero to the same rod in a star-like fashion?

I think I've found it--in the toilet!! A small piece of cold water tubing.  Perhaps it'll do the trick.


Cheers,
