Crosley turntable ground

My pre-amp is constantly clipping, and my crosley player is not made of metal and doesn't have a ground wire so I don't know where/ how to ground it. My stereo doesn't have rca- ins either, I tried to ground it with the antenna port but I think it has to do with the turntable and preamp. I'm not tech savvy so I don't really want to open it up and modify it. Advice?

    If no ground wiring and or sockets is provided, don't bother as the appliance don't need it..

    Just a note:- some appliances might be damaged if a ground/earth wire is connected to it and it was made without ground wiring! Never tamper with stuff not equipped with it.

It DO need it. My pre-amp speakers with my record player say differently. Will ask my friend who is a sound engineer and get back to you, Janine!

Can anyone help me with grounding a Crosley Keepsake turntable? I have run a wire down the tonearm, when I touch the end of this wire the hum goes away, I just don't know where to attach it?
antique turntable that had an earth wire on it too. I just found a screw on the back of the turntable and fitted the wire under this screw, It worked a treat and the hum disappeared.

Crosley record player has tons of static and does not play very loud. Any suggestions?
Either a faulty cartridge or a faulty pre-amp in your amp. To determine which remove the wires to the cartridge. With the amp on at normal volume, with your finger touch each wire one at a time. You should hear a buzz on a channel from two of the wires and nothing on the other two (or very tiny buzz). If you do hear a decent buzz then the cartridge is faulty. If you don't or they are very weak, then the pre-amp inside your amp is faulty.

It's possible that a small pre-amp has failed inside the unit. Hence the low volume.

Sony ps-lx250H loud buzzing sound
That is where the problem is, get a long insulated wire, bare both ends and attach one end to the turntable and the ground screw of the amp, use one screw on the chassis on the turntable and bare the metal for good ground connection.

I don't have a grounding wire and don't know what to use!
You can attach a wire to the metal part of the turntable and screw the other end to ground screw on the amp.

I have a Dual CS714Q turntable with a constant hum on output. Any suggestions?
Hello!
Did you connect single black ground wire to the "ground" terminal at your amp? Probably not! Or, it got stepped on it, while moving around. Professional of hi-fi turntables using magnetic cartridges and require 2 well shielded audio cables, connected directly to the cartridge, plus separate ground wire, which attached to all the metal parts of tone arm and body. Failure to connect this wire to the body(metal) or the amplifier, will cause this loud "hum".
thanks,
Alex.

We just got a crosley radio CR66 model,we cannot get the turntable to activate,it wont turn!It is brand new! so I dont understand whats wrong? we hear a click sound but nothing happens please help ty Bill
remove the rubber plate at the top of the record player,, under that is a metal plate, in that plate is a large "sight hole" look in that as you turn the plate around,, look for the belt that has fallen off the motor shaft and the plate itself,, if you can't locate it, there is a spring clip at the base of the post that holds the metal plate on, remove that , you will see the motor shaft, and the ridge on the underside of the metal plate that the belt has to be on, they sometimes fall off in shipping,

I dont have the orginal ground wire for my Technics SL-BD20D turntable someone told me i could use rca cables to ground it, i have a pre amp cause my main amp didnt have phono jacks on the back of it.
Hello,
You don't need the original ground wire for Technics SL-BD20D turntable,
any plain cable can be used for this purpose...
you should connect turntable to your pre amp,should be a "phone" input at the back...
here are some suggestions for grounding....
---------
  • Plug in a surge protector to the outlet, and then plug all the components into that surge protector
  • Connect a ground plug to the surge protector and then plug the ground plug into the main outlet. A ground plug is available at any hardware store, and turns a three prong connection into a two prong. Ground plugs help eliminate 60 cycle hum.
  • Connect the ground wire from your turntable to the ground wire connection on the receiver. If this doesn't work, looking on the back there should be a grounding point,

    Unplug your receiver.. Split a wire and attach one of the splits to the receiver where you will see the text, "ground" or something similar. Attach the other end to something metal such as a pipe that goes into the ground. Secure with electrical tape. Plug in.
    connect the ground wire to a screw on the electrical outlet.
