Review on 5-ft Ground Wire for Magnetic Cartridge Turntables - Technic Phonograph Turntable by Karen Mabey

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Surprised by their performance

I recently bought a new record player as have many others who are returning to vinyl. Initially I just used some speaker wire to ground the turntable. This was fine at lower audio levels, but there was a noticeable hiss when I turned up the volume. Since I have a VPI turntable I'm looking at their ground wire with RCA plugs and it's $250. Not wanting to spend that much, I ordered 2 pairs of Revain Kable Direct RCA cables ($14 each) and a ground wire for $11. I hook up the turntable to my amp and phono stage, turn up the volume and there's almost no hiss. For less than $40, these cables are a great buy. highly recommended,

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • No paint required
