Does anyone have any pictures of these ground leads that originally came with the mark1? :

I'd like to make or buy some to replace my 'improvised' solution (Just some wires stuck between the plugs)

They are so simple that you don't even need a picture. They're just ground wires attached to the grounds (shrouds) of the RCA cables. You can make your own just by soldering wires to the ground pin of some Radio Shack RCA adapters.

Image attached. The other end is just a set of female RCAs.

Well, with these new ground leads, and the sled grounded, the slight alternator whine i still had is all gone! Hurray!
