G. CONNECTING TO THE PREAMPLIFIER/AMPLIFIER
ONLY USE INTERCONNECTS THAT ARE SHIELDED AND PROPERLY GROUNDED.
NON-SHIELDED INTERCONNECTS CAN HUM AND PICK UP RF.
The ground connection is available to eliminate hum if necessary. If hum
is present, first connect a ground lead from the connector block to the
preamplifier or amplifier to which the output cable is connected. If this
does not eliminate the hum, run a ground wire from the turntable chassis
to the connector block as well. The block's connector will accept bare
wires, spade lugs, or ring tongue connectors.
