It can't be additional, unless it's physically tied to the existing grounding rod(s).  
Luxman 171A turntable
Do you have it plugged into the the correct connections? If the Mac has a phono section, it will be marked, you can’t just plug it in anywhere. You can google the Mac's owners manual, if you don't have it. From the illustration of the back panel, ...

jea48, so you're essentially talking about wiring the circuit as 20A (breaker, outlet), but upsizing the wire to #10?  I'm just trying to learn a bit.Thanks 
Has anybody bought or heard a Chinese knock off amplifier?
cid194532 posts02-05-2021 4:46pmI’ve never heard of well known brands like Luxman or Accuphase knockoffs. Seems they would be easy to spot or the price would be the tipoff. The Chinese are making some excellent amps at very good prices. Their... 
If Cables Are Not Tone Controls...
Tone control implies just that. I don't consider buying another pair of cables and installing them a convenient form of control. Once you go down that line of thinking, you might as well consider your amp as a 'tone control', as well.

What did your system look like 30 years ago?
Pioneer SX-750 receiver, Rotel turntable, Sharp cassette player, HPM100's.  Pieces were all about 13-14 years old, then.

People that produce counterfeit anything are thieves. It's no more complicated than that. People that buy things from thieves are either ignorant, or amoral.

question for Luxman L-590AX owners
One problem for me, like any other internet forum, is evaluating the answers that are offered. If it was my area of expertise, that would be great, but it's not. Are there differences in the design requirements for transformers between Class A, AB... 
question for Luxman L-590AX owners
Lot of this has been covered. This exact integrated amp has been dead quiet since I've owned it, which has been 3-4 years, up until a couple of months ago, when the hum started. It's been plugged into the same outlet since day one. I just now chec...
