Need to purchase a separate ground cable - from my TT to my Phono Preamp


Can I just use a basic ground wire with the correct ends?

Is there a difference with and using a ground cable?

If there is a difference with a ground cable  - Best ground cable for the money or just use a basic wire.

Thank you.

Any bit of metal wire will work - light cord or mains - outside the audio loop but eliminates hum if there’s an earthing issue 

But make sure it's been cryogenically treated, reviewed by at least two fan mags (or the equivalent online vlog), and the lugs are rhodium-plated unobtanium!

Electrons have become very fashion conscious lately...conductors must be silver plated, have at least 6 Nines, clad in PTFE jackets, with gluten-free packaging.

In other words, standard 20 ga. hookup wire with or without spade lugs crimped on should get the hum out.

My TT has no separate ground wire and it is dead silent. 
even with a MC cart.
