I am not familiar with the term "star ground". Can you explain what it is your trying to do or achieve ? Maybe from your description, we might be able to understand a little better. Sean >
Star grounding, Sean, I think means, that you run a ground from each of your components to one single grounding point. Correction much appreciated, should I be wrong.
Yes Detlof is right. There have been several lengthy discussions about how to do this, problems with doing it with in Electical Codes, etc. I'm sorry I don't have the references but several electrical (as opposed to electronics) professionals have weighed in and you should really read these. I use a star ground and it really improved things but I have severe electrical quality AND noise problems.
"Star Grounding" is common and the only way to fly for a noise free mobil audio installation. Star grounding means grounding all components to a central ground as the others have mentioned. But for best results all lenghts of ground wire SHOULD BE OF EQUAL WIRE AND LENGHT.
