As per the thread heading, what i meant to say was, I
have a Sony direct drive turntable but the turntable has
no separate grounding wire.

Does it need an added grounding wire?

IOW, are you having problems with hum?

Was it designed like that or its missing? as in is it
mandatory that all Turntables come with a grounding wire?

Not all turntables come with a separate grounding wire.
