Noob wiring question

wiring up my 6MB8 amp. When wiring the inputs to the volume control, I have connected the shield through the volume pot to the input to the grid. The question is do I connect both ends of thee shield to ground (RCA jack ground) and the star ground for the system, or just connect the shield to the system star ground and leave the shield at the RCA jack floating and avoid intersystem ground problems?

Any help is appreciated.

Ground only one end of the shielded wire. I ground to the input side (jacks).
