Turntable + Preamp Ground?

My boyfriend just bought me an Edwards Audio Apprentice TT1 mk2 turntable. There is no ground wire coming from this turntable. What do I connect to the ground on the preamp? I don’t want any humming or buzzing, what do I do? The preamp is in transit and will arrive tomorrow. Maybe it won’t be a problem ungrounded.

The Turntable Lab: Rolls VP 29.TTL preamp will then be connected to a Denon S900W receiever (not audiophile grade but it’s what I have for now and I’m happy with it).

Thanks!

The Rega arm ground is linked internally to the cabling. You should be okay to just hook it up to the phono amp without a specific ground connection.

You were quick on that response!  Thank you for sharing your knowledge.  Looking forward to getting it hooked up.

Let the group know how you get on and how it sounds. Make sure you put that TT on a good support.

Listened to Rhapsody in Blue for its inaugural spin. It was revelatory! No buzz and it sounded like I was sitting at center orchestra.

Thank you!
