Grounding wires on PAD Venustas phono

Congratulations, you just bought the 2nd best (and 2nd most expensive) TA cable on the planet! The PAD Dominus is supposedly better (haven't tried one) but jeez, how the hell do you manage a 2 foot Anaconda!

Is there is a thin wire at each end of each cable or only at one end of each cable (I have the RCA to DIN version so I don't know how yours is configured.) Are there directional arrows on the cables?

NSgarch: Yes, there is a thin wire at just one end of each cable. I'm not home, and I don't recall if there are directional arrows. My VPI tonearm box has a grounding screw, as does my phono preamp. I'm just not sure if one grounding wire should go to each, as it would seem to result in different directionality of the tonearm cables.

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...

John, if there's only a ground wire at one end of each cable (and presumably they are connected to the shields of their respective cables) which lug do you think he should connect them to, the preamp or the tonearm box.
