Do you ground your bearing?


I recently began to ground the bearing on my table (well...I recently *securely* attached a ground wire to the bearing) and I've noticed much less noise (leading me to believe much of the "rice krispies" I've experienced had nothing to do with the condition / cleanliness of the vinyl.

I've not seen much discussion about this before, and I'd suspect most tables don't make this a logistically simple task. But it's easy with Teres and Galibier bearings.

My Michell is grounded, and came that way. I once tried grounding a VPI Aries but it didn't make much difference as I recall. Maybe yours is an unusual case...
I earth ground the bearing on my Basis Debut turntable. Noticeable improvement.
