When you say ground, are you discussing the SAFETY Ground or the circut Common return? Since the SAFETY Ground wire of a 3-wire power cord is already in close proximity to the mains wires throughout the length of the cord & building wiring, similar proximity for the short few inches within a chassis (to chassis connection) should make no more differance = no twist needed. If you mean circut Common, that return buss should be kept away from any & all voltage-carrying wires. AND circut Common should never be directly connected to the SAFETY Ground; SAFETY Ground & circut Common should each have their own separate chassis connection points, otherwise jacks, terminals & controls would be excluded from the SAFETY circut = Danger. As Aretha Franklin sang, Think!
