I hope I haven't created a needless thread, I couldn't get a definitive answer from my search.
So, I want to case up my CKKIII. Here's where I'm at.
The mounting positions for the jacks and volume potentiometer are plastic. I will connect all the signal grounds together.
The mains earth will be connected to the metal parts of the case.
Since I want to keep the signal and power grounds separate the CKKIII board will be isolated from the chassis. AFAIK I don't have a reason to connect them and this is a good idea to minimize interference from the mains earth.
Assuming the above all makes sense, what do I do with the 'chassis' ground on the potentiometer? The clue's probably in the name (!) but where I've seen it connected to the chassis, the signal ground has also been connected and the case has been metal.
What happens if I leave it floating? Why should I connect it to signal/mains ground?
TIA.
