Star Grounding

I would like to star ground the three outlets running from my subpanel to a grounding rod. What is the best method for doing this?

There have been several lengthy discussions about how to do this, problems with doing it with in Electical Codes, etc. I'm sorry I don't have the references but several electrical (as opposed to electronics) professionals have weighed in and you should really read these. I use a star ground and it really improved things but I have severe electrical quality AND noise problems.

This is against code which calls for a ground at the main box. The major reason for this configuration is my electricity is suppied by the oldest underground residential service in California (1925) and the noise on the circuits is unbelievably bad.
