Pfanstiehl Turntable Ground Wire for LP Vinyl Magnetic Cartridge Turntables, 6-ft Long

I used this to ground an old Stanton T60 to a Xone 62. Works great. No more ground hum.

Better than the wire that came bundled with my turntable. Cable feels good: not too thick, not too thin.

good ground wire

When I bought this I expected to put some shrink tubing around the crimped connectors but upon further examination I am pleasantly surprised.This is very well made.The wire is also much better that anything I could’ve done myself. Well worth the cost.

Better than / much easier to install than the pieces of speaker wire that I have used to ground my turntables since 1977! Money well-spent.

This works, but you get what you pay for.I used this wire to add a grounding connection between my dedicated phono preamp and my receiver. This was in addition to the ground wire already in place between my turntable and preamp.This substantially reduced hum in my system. It also fixed some awful static noise that was occurring when my Q-up tonearm lifter triggered at the end of each side.That said - when I received and inspected it, I was underwhelmed by the quality. The wire itself is fine, but the spade connectors are crimped on and not soldered. Additionally, the red tubing that looks like heat shrink is just a thick insulation material. It's only loosely held on where it was crimped. This insulation slid off multiple times during installation and had to be shifted back. One spade connector was also bent out of shape so I bent it back.Given some other negative reviews, I used a multimeter to test continuity prior to installation. It tested fine. I then re-tested from end to end after installing it and continuity was still good.Long story short, there don't seem to be any quality name brands in this market. This is a cheaply made product that works, but your mileage may vary. Be prepared to test prior install, and know it may be necessary to solder the terminals for a better connection. As far as I know, the red insulation isn't really needed for this particular application so it can probably just be removed.

Hooked this up to ground my turntable to my receiver. The hum is gone. Perfect.

Look closely at the attached pict. You'll note the wire was stripped of insulation (as it should be) however the crimping was done on the insulated part leaving an open circuit with the stripped wire left dangling in the air. So, I had a ground wire that didn't ground. Confirmed on my Ohm meter that this was an open circuit. Quite amusing as I bought this to avoid having to locate my lugs and crimping tool. Fortunately, I did find my soldering iron and all was well in minutes else this would have been a return for a refund. Point being is be prepared for some quality control issues as noted in this and at least one other review or look at some of the other alternatives offered on Amazon.
