Default Ground point for HF decoupling cap?

Where is the best place to ground a HF decoupling cap for small signal stages? At that stages local ground, or at the main star point? Its Class A, SRPP stage with mono-polar power supply.

For best HF decoupling, I’d place the cap to the local stage ground. Placing it to a distant star ground could introduce path inductance and resistance that might not shunt HF as well. Think of the closed loop at HF.
