It is unbelievable but even high end stuff like the Marantz recorder or the Sennheiser wireless does not have ground terminals (%^#&!!). So I'll have to take the drill and some self-tapping screws.

Is this perhaps because so few people would know what to do with a ground terminal? I've read through the proper way of grounding using nice, wide, low-inductance braid, but of all the "grounded" systems I've seen, many just use something like 12ga. wires that are run many feet to some star ground... and that sort of wire is already not that great of a "ground" by the time you hit high HF, much less VHF or UHF.


True, but even 12AWG can work wonders on a crackling audio problem. As long as you keep the run short, under 1ft or so. Now we have to drill each and every one of the boxes, vacuum the burrs out, screw back together. I guess that'll take all morning. It is also quite disappointing that "high tech" gear comes with anodized aluminum panels and 19" racks are powder-coated. The only method to get a decent ground there is the Dremel tool and then it doesn't look good anymore.
