Homebound? Add bare wire, you could try it, it cannot hurt anything. You could wrap it with tape as a quick solution if hum appears. Some TT's don't have separate grounds. If it sounds good without the ground, as it might, ... Are you concerned about keeping OEM appearance? IOW, remove your extension at some future time? I have had to extend TT ground wires. Just find/buy a length of insulated wire similar gauge, and use an insulated bullet type connector, easily found at Home Depot, It's not carrying a signal, just preventing hum, any quality that works is good enough https://www.homedepot.com/p/Gardner-Bender-100-Piece-Terminal-Kit-TK-806/202518736?MERCH=REC-_-pipse... |
No problem using bare wire for that application! Bare copper is the most commonly used type of copper wire and is often referred to with the general term “grounding wire.” It does not have any sort of protective coating, however, the lack of insulation allows bare copper to have the best conductive properties. |
