    Ok so I've just been dusting around the back and it's struck me that I have a ground/ earth connection between the TT and Phono stage but none between the phono and the amp. Should I add another or just leave it? I have no idea!!:confused:

    Richard Dunn was only trying to be helpful by explaining why you need an earth for TT and not for line level inputs.
