I'm re-wiring the input on my amplifier and I figured I should ask your opinion on which way to do it best, to avoid ground loop etc.
This is two single RCA inputs that's going to a DSP with one ground and two positive on the connector.
So there's two positive and two negative at the chassi in, two positive and one negative at the DSP connector.
The cable I bought has two conductors and a shield (with wire).
If I use one cable I would have to use the shield as ground, and I'm guessing that it could pick up interference (that the shield is meant to protect from).
Or I could use two cables (where I let the shield alone) and either:
1. Use just 3 out of the 4 wires, just use a short wire at the chassi input to connect the two negative.
2. Use all 4 wires and connect the two ground wires at the DSP connector.
This is a very short distance, but the whole ground loop thing seems to be an interesting phenomena that I don't fully grasp. 😂

Thank you for the reply.
I'm guessing the longest will be around 15cm/6", so maybe there's not much problem. And that's on the inside when I'm thinking about it now, on the outside it will be going to two different sources so I'm guessing that would be a bigger problem, in that case.
I have probably over complicated the wrong thing here. 😂
