That’s just it I keep very clean records and have a static gun. These were actually brand new vinyl out of the wrapper. MoFi One steps so they were in good rice paper covers and bursted. When I touched the tonearm after playing I would get shocked and with the turntable off and tonearm docked it would make a static sound through the speakers when removing a record
Grounding a turntable and a tonearm
As I learn about the world if high end audio I hit moments I feel really dumb and this is one of them. So I have a SOTA Sapphire VI turntable and a Audiomods tonearm. I have the ground that comes out tonearm going to the Phono stage ground post. But I am having a nightmare time with static and popping etc on the turntable and someone said I have not grounded the turntable.
Well looking under the turntable there is a ground post. So I have two grounds and I am not sure the right way to wire this! Do I wire the tone arm into the ground on the turntable, and then run a wire to the phono stage, do I run two wires to the phono stage, whichI think could cause a ground loop? Do I take the turntable ground somewhere else? Just trying to figure all this out.
