i have a question:
on a preamp, should pin1 of the XLR sockets be connected to chassis via a cable to the star ground, or a small jumper to the chassis soldering sleeve of the neutrik connector (given that it has solid contact to the chassis)?
thanks a lot!

The shortest connection is the best. So jumper direct to chassis. A long ground wire through the enclosure can contaminate the interior with RF interference.
