Each unique system has its own
ideal grounding configuration.
You’ll need to figure out what
works best for your system through
experimentation...
3. ADDITIONAL / SHIELD GROUNDING
When needed, ‘Detchable Ground
Wires’ can be inserted into the
cable’s breakout barrels, allowing
you to use the cable’s shield as an
additional ground loop prevention.

First, play some music without any of the
Detachable Ground Wires attached and
see how it sounds.
Then, try inserting one of the Detachable
Ground Wires to your cable on the end
closest to the turntable. Connect the
spade of the Detachable Ground Wire to
the ground post on your turntable.
Next, if you have a ground option on
the phono-stage end, disconnect the
Detachable Ground Wire from the
turntable end of the tonearm cable,
and insert it into the phono-stage end
instead. Connect the spade of the
Detachable Ground Wire to the phono-
stage ground, and listen again.
Finally, if applicable, insert both
Detachable Ground Wires to the two
ends of your cable, connect them to
ground on the turntable and the phono-
stage, and listen one last time.
Based on your findings, configure
whichever set-up had the least noise.
