Well that completely resolved the issue and i learned something new! Thanks so much! I pulled a length of speaker wire into a single strand, stripped the ends and made the connections and the buzz disappeared completely.  Thanks again!

I have no grounding wire! like i said i don't have any real knowledge about this.  But now I can tell where the wire should connect to the preamp.  where should the other end go to? If that is a silly question please forgive my ignorance. 

Hello! So I tried a setup with my turntable that I was not sure would work or not.  It seems to work except for an annoying buzzing. I have a Technics SL-B20 run to a Rolls VP29 preamp and then to a set of fostex pm0.5 powered speakers.  The buzz seems to be a relatively common problem after some searching but I would appreciate any input that folks here have.  I don't have a lot of gear or electrical knowledge.  Thanks!
