Every turntable needs to be properly grounded to reduce electrical hum and improve sound quality. If your turntable is not grounded, you may hear a buzzing or humming sound when you play your records. This is caused by a difference in ground potential between the turntable and the amplifier.
A Perform Turntable Earthing Ground Lead Wire provides a direct connection between the turntable and the amplifier, which equalises the ground potential and eliminates hum. This cable is also ideal for turntables with carbon fiber tonearms, as carbon fiber is not as conductive as other materials and can sometimes lead to insufficient grounding.
When to use a Turntable Earthing Ground Lead Wire:
You have an earth hum (or buzz) through your system, even when the earth lead is connected between your turntable and phono stage/amplifier.
Your turntable has a carbon fiber tonearm.
When not to use a Turntable Earthing Ground Lead Wire:
The noise generated is due to electrical interference from the turntable motor or other equipment.
The earth noise disappears when you touch the tonearm tube. This more likely indicates an issue with the tonearm wiring.
The earth lead is not connected between your turntable and the phono stage/amplifier.
