Grounding wires on PAD Venustas phono


I bought a pair of PAD Venustas phono cables w. RCA terminations. Each cable has a thin grounding wire attached. How should these be connected? Both to phono pre grounding screw or one to phono pre and one to turntable?

Thanks,

Jeff

nsgarch is right on the venustas. Killer phono cable-I used to own one but stepped up in the purist line (actually now there are 3 more expensive 2oth anniversary, Dominus, Proteus Provectus).

Each ground wire needs to be attached. So one to the tonearm/turntable and one at the phono stage. I suspect the cable is directional...I always had either xlr ends or din to something so I didn't have a choice.

Congrats ! If the cable is new, please break it in for 150 hours or so on your cd player. If used, it still may need 24 hours of playing time to settle in and sound it's best...
Maybe I am wrong here, but I think both ends should be connected. In our DIN's one of the 5 pins is the sheild ground (so connected to the tonearm) then at the other in is the phono stage...
