The Clearaudio tables have two ground wires. When I first got my table a dealer brought it over and hooked it up so I never paid much attention to the two wires. I moved the table a couple weeks ago and when I put it back I noticed only one ground wire, I found the 2nd one on the floor. I wasn't getting any noise with only one ground so I didn't hook it up since I didn't see right off where it went. Now I'm noticing as I take the LP off I have a lot of static. So I'd like to hook the 2nd ground back up to see if it eliminates the static or if the static may be a coincidence from not using the humidifier in the heating system any more. The problem for the life of me I can't find where this 2nd ground plugs into, any one know?

Lot of tables have one ground for tonearm and another for the TT itself. trace the wiring
I know I sound pathetic but I'm not that bad, LOL. The second ground wire I'm talking about plugs into the table somewhere and became disconnected, there's nothing to trace. One end has a small spade to go under the ground screw on my phono stage and the other end has this tiny plug that fits into somewhere on my table. Actually the plug is smooth I'm interested to see how it fits in.
I believe Clearaudio tables use a second bearing ground wire and it attaches with a ring terminal to the bearing cup with a screw. Don't know why yours would be a smooth plug??? Feel under your table and see if you don't find the bearing grounding screw with something missing. That's where you'll want to reattach the wire. Don't have a Clearaudio table, but I did glance at the owner's manual online, so I think I'm going to be close to right on this.
thanks
