Tony, just a minor point but on the 2nd and 3d gen layouts, the ground from the preamp output doesn't seem to go anywhere after it reaches the preamp board.
Does this ground on the preamp grounds (cathodes) or go to the buss?
Tom
The ground wire in this case (non isolated jack) is the shield so you don't want to ground it at both source and exit point in fear of a ground loop showing up.. Make sense?
Thanks for going over the layouts..

Tony
Doh!
I'm a dunce. I didn't notice it was a shielded cable.
I guess the words FlexFoam should have been a clue.

Maybe it was because you have a separate ground wire showing that threw me off.

Don't let that smoke out!
