Grounding Speakers


My Tannoy DC8Ti speakers have a ground connector.  Can someone give me a good idea as to why I should use it?  Full disclosure - I had them grounded to my pre amp before.  I just received, assembled, and reinstalled my gear on a new Butcher Block four shelf rack.  My other rack has 3 shelf, so I’m reconfiguring the layout.

My turntable is grounded to my phone pre Amp.  My power amp also has a ground connector.  Should I ground the speakers to the pre amp, power amp, or to a dedicated earth ground?  And is there any reason to use the power amp ground?

Groundhog Day! Different details, same day. In the original script he relived it for millions of years. In the movie it wound up being thousands. Here its merely hundreds. It only seems like forever.

Top of every page. "Search discussions..."
I found a manual for the DC8T online, which includes the following statement that I assume is also applicable to the DC8Ti:

Connection of Earth or 'Ground' Lead:

Use of a shielded or screened loudspeaker cable will offer further performance advantages when used with the five-way terminal panel. The screening termination should be connected to the earth or ground (green) terminal on the loudspeaker and to the ground or earth connection on the amplifier. Alternatively if you are not using a screened loudspeaker cable but wish to utilise the earthing facility, run a single cable between the earth or 'ground' (green) terminal on the loudspeaker to the earth (ground) connection on the amplifier .

Thanks Al.  Your help as given me information to think about after I do some more research on my options.
