B^2 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 So I recently got a used pro-ject debut carbon that doesn't have the ground wire for the phono preamp. I'm wondering if what kind of wire matters in terms of using it for a grounding wire or if anything will do. It's going to be connected to my bellari vp130. Just wanted to know if I should grab any kind of wire from home depot or order something specific from amazon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheComebackKid Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Any wire should work but I think most of the HomeDepot grounding wires are copper and bare. I would get a shielded one with the forks kind of like this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Custom-3ft-Dual-Spade-Audiophile-Grade-Universal-Turntable-Ground-Wire-/182190278440 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajxd Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 If you aren't spending at LEAST $500 on a ground wire, do not even post here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went cheap and bought a one for $495 and it was a complete unmitigated disaster, I for one won't be making that sort of mistake again. From now on If the dialectic hasn't been hand rolled on the thighs of nubile hand maidens and the conductors hand drawn by a team of Yak's I'm out!!! ajxd 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
