Ground Connector on Pioneer H-R99

Is there a noticeable difference in sound quality when grounding an 8
track player such as the h-r99? If so, which gauge of wire should I
use?

Thanks in advance,

Rusty

For an application like this, grounding the chassis directly probably
won't improve the noise and hum component of the output, and MAY cause
a hazard. Don't do it, especially if the device has a non-polarized
plug. The only consumer audio component where grounding is a must is
a turntable with a magnetic cartridge, and even then, the grounding is
done to chassis ground of the preamp.

Rusty- the chassis of your tape deck, is grounded to the chassis of
the amp/receiver you plug it into, via the ground wires of the RCA
input/output jacks/cords

adding another ground will not change the sound any, unless that
connection is bad to begin with, in the back of your tape deck or
receiver

I have run into amps that had tape monitor loops/switches, that had a
bad tape monitor switch and caused faulty playback, due to the bad
switch
