Taylor,
Good, but that wasn't the question.
I read the manual and it doesn't answer me eiter. But it states, "Tonearm cables connected directly to the Fozgometer may require the turntable ground wire to be connected to one of the meter input jacks to prevent hum pickup."
That should answer your question.

thanks Grainger ... I do realize that it was not "the question", just looking for comments from other owners. That said, "may require" is a vague instruction from the manual, don't you agree. I tried contacting the company for a more definitive answer but the e-mail address does not seem to work. Thanks.
I would just try it both ways.If you get an indication of signal with the arm up you will probably be looking at noise, most likely hum.
According to the manual "each meter division is approx 1 db. The meter will read zero if the channels are balanced." This says that one channel is being subtracted from the other. Any imbalance is read in "db" and the higher channel is indicated by the LED.
If it subtracts one channel from the other and the hum is equal in both channels you might read zero. I.E. 1 -1 = 0. In this case try one arm lead at a time to see if either has noise, any reading on the Fozgometer without the stylus on the LP. Just attach the TT ground wire to the other channel outer conductor and see if the meter reads lower.

taylor, you shouldn't need to ground the cable. btw, i use the meter with a benz ebony lp, .34 mv output, and it works fine, no need to take the higher voltage signal from the phono stage.
That's good to know ... thanks for both of your suggestions. This is a very worthy tool IMO.
