Having some problems grounding my RCA connectors.
I have grounded it as follows;
4 RCA connectors with insulating washers and 4 grounding tabs.
The thick red wire in the picture passes through all four tabs and is connected finally to the RCA connector on the far right as a chassis ground. (has no insulating washer).
The two thinner red wires are connected to this thick red wire between each input and output red and black RCA connectors and then finally to each of the two grounds on the PCB.
Problem - very garbled sound from right channel at high volume and none from the left. I'm sure this is the right way to ground the RCA connectors.
Funnily enough, if I dismantle the grounds connections, and leave one ground wire attached to the PCB ground and let it touch the red RCA input connector hot wire, I get good sound, but it is not how it is supposed to sound.
Earth ground is just below the RCA ground on the far right hand side RCA connector.
Need help;
Thanks
