Turntable interconnect

If your Classic isn't humming, a ground will not make it better....may make it worse. To upgrade the Classic, get rid of the VPI minifeet, and substitute Bearpaws...Vermontaudio.com. You will thank me.

Stringreen already replaced the feet with bearpaws was a great improvemnet in bass and focus. Thanks for your post.

If I had an easily replaceabe cable I would try a ZU just because they speak with straight tongue-Kimo Sabee.

If it's not humming you're OK. But, if you want to ground it you can just run a single ground wire with the IC's you have.

Different from issues associated with grounding, are concerns about shielding in the cables to 'protect' the small phono signal. Some phono cables are designed specifically for that purpose while others are just 'regular' cables with a ground wire attached. Unless the manufacturer specifically mentions it, one can assume (?) the latter.
