tt ground to phono section. solid copper?

Has anyone experimented with a solid copper line to ground there tt vs stranded. also if I run a ground from my tt to my phono section will I get looping issues if it goes from there to my grounding on preamp? ( the phono is a MF mxvynl ,dc converstion plug two prong  ) I am adding this and no longer going to use my inboard phono section,
Thanks

As long as your ground wire has good contact and continuity, solid core or stranded wire will not make a difference.

The looping issues are why the ground is optional. :)  Listen and that will tell you.

I agree either solid or stranded will work, 16 gauge should be more than enough.  You may also want to try the really really cheap ferrite beads on either or both ends ($5 for a pack).  May do nothing, but cheap. :)

The ground is there to make sure the tone arm (which shields the cartridge wiring) is properly grounded so it won't impart noise to the signal. Any wire will work fine.
