The stanton T.80s do not have a port for grounding wire. They buzz when I have them on my table, is there anyway to ground them?

The turntable will ground to any metal point.

See if it has a starting capacitor

so you have a pre-amp otherwise you aint trying to use otherbinputs
, but the ground cable goes with your sungle phono soursce to the PHONO-preamp and the output is a Line-level , which you should here

Hi,
There is no such ground points in the Stanton STR8-100. The main thing you have to check is the RCA cable used. You should a high quality RCA cable suitable for Phono connections. If you use a normal RCA cable then it will produce HUM because if its weak ground shield.

Try with a good quality RCA cable with Good ground shielding.

HI, use both of them. The white one is the left channel and the red one is the right channel. The 3rd wire is a grounding wire. Cheers John. Styluscity.com

Web search "hum on turntable with ground" for various techniques to analyze it.

Disconnect the wires to the cartridge on the turntable that has trouble. Then put your headphones and with it powered up. Touch each cable end of the loose wires of the cartridge one at a time with your finger. On two you should hear a buzz, one on each channel. On the other two wires you might get a slight buzz or a crackle, but don't expect anything. If you get a buzz on both channels. Then the cartridge is faulty. If you do not get a buzz on either channel then there is something wrong either inside the deck or the wiring to that deck.

i used to have stanton t80s,had the same problem no gnd on deck but diddnt need it there waqs no bad earth so if it sounds good leave it

It is not suggested that you remove the ground cable. Performing the mod for the ground by soldering a bridge on the circuit board doesn't really do anything either than remove that buzz/ground hum. You've essentially removed the wire that grounds the turntable cabinet to the earth. The buzz is gone, but now your turntable is no longer grounded properly.

I would suggest replacing the ground cable to it's original state, then attach the Monster cables.

If this does not work, then either there is an issue with the soldering to the board, or the board itself might be damaged. You might want to look at the trace paths to make sure none are lifted, or damaged in any way on the board. Another issue might be faulty tonearm wires or not properly soldered wires.

FYI, monster cables are not good for this purpose. I would suggest the following cables:

Only the following 3 things could cause this:

1) Tonearm
2) RCA Cables / RCA connectors
3) Cartridge/Styli

Make sure your ground cable is also connected.
