No, assuming the cables are good, that will not make a difference other than expense. Like stated above, the problem is the deck. If you ground the outer portions of the rca's and the noise goes away, you've pinpointed the problem to the noisy Pioneer.

HEYY all, today i grounded the rca cables, from near the deck only, not on amp side... and wallah, all noise gone....+ seems like there is extra power goin thru.. dunno..

so what is the problem now... did it mean that my deck is funny? should i go 4 a exchange under warranty? or will it be fine.. i,m certainly happy with the sound quality now...

It's up to you, but I'm strongly biased against Pioneer decks for this reason. What you did was a "band-aid" approach fix, but it got rid of the noise. I mention this because grounding the cables would not be necessary if the deck had a good internal ground to begin with (exactly why I would take it back).

You paid extra for an extended warranty, why not use it? What if you take it back, and they don't have another one in stock (on backorder), will they tell you they have to send yours in for repair? What if you go with another brand, but then decide you don't like the controls, etc.- can you then return that one as well? What are the stipulations to your warranty? There are a lot of "what-if's" that need to be weighed first. You can discuss your different options with your salesperson. If you're happy with the functions and all, you can leave it alone. Ultimately, it's your decision.

I'm not trying to scare you or sway you one way or another, I just want to be sure you think about it first.

Your deck has a blown fuse on the bottom of the circuit board. You can fix this problem by soldering a wire to the shield of your RCA cable and grounding the other end of the wire. Below is a link to a picture that can help you with this.
