Hi

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.

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

and if the answer is yes, is there a solution say by means of attaching
a wire ( to which part of the turntable) to the problem of a missing
wire?

Thank you.

Sorry, i am poor in english.

Sorry for the response from the last idiot. This place is full of turds
like that, so you have to watch where you step. Good thing you didn't
get him anyway.

I'd say YES all turntables come with a grounding wire, only because I
haven't seen one yet that didn't.

I've got a Rega RB250 tonearm knocking around the house and it doesn't
have a separate grounding wire. It's grounded internally.

I"ve seen others without the grounding wire, but I can't remember
specifics.

So, no, all turntables (or, more accurately, all tonearms), don't come
with a separate grounding wire.
