Question on Ground Loops

[W4DDM]

Hello,

I am not an electrican so be gentle

If one were to assume there were ground loops causing inference to radio/audio equipment and all other possible causes were troubleshot and ruled out. Would it be acceptable to bond/ground, let's say 4 pieces of equipment together with insulated wire, then power one of those pieces of equipment with a 3 prong AC plug and the others with 2 prong plugs to eliminate the ground loops/noise/hum? It seems like there would still be a single source for ground for all of these pieces of equipment. Or let me guess it doesn't work like that ?

Oh also, they would be on the same circuit.

Sorry for the rudimentary question.

Dean, what you propose is an NEC violation.

The grounding conductors are required to be run with the circuit conductors.

That said ...
