The Kook ties signal ground to it's power ground, as your x-overs likely do as well. Connecting each of the devices also to the chassis ground would surely result in a ground loop.

If I understand you correctly the only connection to chassis ground is at the mains input and the signal ground "floats through" the stages remaining isolated from the chassis!
