Why does this turntable not have a ground connector for an external pre-amp?

The AT-LP120-USB has an isolated power supply, so no grounding wire is needed or necessary. The ground between the turntable and your receiver is carried through the outer ring of the RCA connector.

This turntable model has no pre amp. Therefore it needs a receiver with phono input which provides the necessary boost. Usually only the pricier receivers have this option nowadays. I had to purchase a Denon in the $800-1000 range to get that. Separate preamps are available from Amazon that connect between phono player and aux input however. Read reviews on those.

Dear customer, pre-amp is not necessary since it is an integrated amp. but you need to add a phono preamp to play turntable.

A cloth dust cover is included. If you want to use this turntable through USB it should work for you.I wanted to use RCA connectors through my sound card but there is no pre amp so as far as I can tell it won't work like that. I know that wasn't part of your question but I wish I had known that in advance.

There is no ground wire input. 1 in 1 out 1 power input and thats it. Noiseless on my stereo. Great turntable pre-amp for the money.

i looked at the back of the tx-8255 online. i can see it has a ground connection and phono rca connections. i returned this item due to bad tuner reception and other issues.

No. You need a pre amp for a turntable in addition to an amp (which is this product )

If you're sure you have the polarity right on the cartridge, that's about all there is to it. Check the connections, make sure the terminals are all mating snugly etc. ...was this working at all before? You got to have a phono input or preamp, turntables aren't strong enough by themselves, but you probably know this.

I'm running my turntable through the Cambridge Audio Azur 651 pre-amp into the CD input of my Pioneer receiver which doesn't have a phono input.

Sorry for the delay. I did not know the answer either so I contacted Pioneer. They said if your were using their receiver VSX 523 and wanted to connect a turntable to it, you would need an external preamp for the turntable and then connect it to an available red/white input. This is good to know as I have an older Dual turntable that I would like to connect to it. I recently bought a new Pioneer turntable but it has a preamp built in and all I had to do was to connect it to the CD input of the Pioneer AV receiver.

My guess would be that either the line is close to or running along with a power cord, or you need to ground the turntable. Or if you had to get a small turntable amplifier like I did, ground that. Good luck!

If the unit has a usb, it has its own preamp. I returned this item, the platter is to small for Lp's causing wobble and skip.

Make sure everything is plugged in right. If using a turntable you need a pre-amp. Not to insult. Did you install the software?

Dave there is not a dedicated Phono input. If you want to hook up a turntable you would need to get a pre-amp. I don't think they are very expensive.

If your turntable has an internal pre-amp, the problem is probably with that piece of your equipment. If it doesn't have an in internal amp, this product should help. Most older turntables do not have built-in pre-amps. I'm assuming you have your turntable connected to an external amp. If it is a stand-alone (speakers in the phonograph) machine, this will not help.

You definitely need a ground from the turntable to amp or preamp. If you have a ground already check the connection. Lastly reinstall the cartridge. Good luck
