yes or no? Got about 3" of wire from master volume to the cap on the turret board, 2' for the cap from turret to turret, then 3 more inches on the other side of the cap to the PI grid. Would it be a good idea to put the cap on the pot and run a shielded wire direct from there to the grid if the amps isn't a solid known good layout?

no

What this sort of error usually means is that a banner ad is malware. Such ads are hosted on third party machines, and sometimes are rotated in and out to evade detection. Malware has become highly sophisticated and can evade a lot of safeguards in the browser and malware blockers. Many of the ads used contain embedded programs decoded by otherwise innocuous-looking JavaScript:

One could use a proxy which disables ads and JavaScript, but even that might not be totally safe.
Disclaimer: I don't know if TAG (a) contains actual malware on its servers; (b) has banner ads which have it some or all of the time; or (c) has malware none of the time and all of this is a false positive. I have gone there in the past using a proxy server which strips ads and JavaScript, but since I learned about the payload tricks I haven't been back.
