In Reply to: RE: grounding SUT question posted by Heifetz on August 27, 2016 at 23:33:56
I run my turntable ground wire to my SUT and then another ground wire from SUT to phono stage. I use wires with alligator clips that I bought at Radio Shack. They make it easy to try different grounding configurations.

Trial and error is 1/2 the key, there's all sorts of RF and magnetic garbage out there and no one configuration will solve it.
The other 1/2 is shielded cables from TT to SUT to Phono stage. Don't fall for the 'shielded cables don't sound good' B.S.
Thanks for the advice! Yes, I use shielded cables throughout my system and especially in both of my vinyl front-ends. My system is pretty much devoid of noise and hum. I couldn't be happier, especially now that I just installed Rythmik Servo Subs right beside my main speakers. The subs integrate seamlessly providing full-range sound with tight, fast, deep bass.
Thanks again,
John Elison
Good looking system.Solid state and Thiels "pretty much devoid of hum"? HT lines nearby?
The Aikido based pre should be quiet; my John Broskie Aikido boards unit is although it took some doing, like the mic cable output wires.
Quieter still, even with the notoriously microphonic 76s, is this JE Labs based pre, my daily driver. Gaskets for the tube sockets, shielded input and output wiring, lotsa chokes and careful shoe-horning of the circuit into the smallish chassis did the job.
