[QUOTE="helotaxi, post: 1947559, member: 550915"] It is not part of the signal chain. There is not an RCA running to it or through it. It will not have any effect on the potential for a ground loop unless you have a crappy ground and then the cap is not the problem, the bad ground is. A ground loop is a defference in ground potential between two components in the signal chain that is equalized through the signal cable. The slight ripple voltage from the alt is transmitted through the signal cable and appears as noise. If the item is not connected by an RCA it will not be part of a ground loop. Basically a cap has the same potential to cause noise as a distribution block or a fuse holder. [/QUOTE]
