Comment on Audio enthusiast seeking safety advice
a_non_monotonic_function@lemmy.world 15 hours agoSounds like you’re confirming what I’ve been hearing from other people, that neither of these grounds contains any real danger?
And as for grounding the turntable, that makes a bit of sense, however I have a fairly modern one and I’ll have to check it. I don’t know that it actually has an external ground beyond the three prong plug.
Is grounding of the turntable still relevant in that case?

I think most modern turntables have a built in pre-amp so it’s less of an issue. If it doesn’t have a ground lug itself then it’s probably not an issue.

Yes, I believe I have a selector switch that allows me to select either the internal pre and for an external. I was thinking of going with the old external for a bit of additional configurability.
