Connect Turntable to Amp: grounding

[SiriusCanopus]

Hi Guys,

I need some help with turntable setup. We have simple CLASSIC PHONO TT-10BN that we take with ourselves when camping outside . It has built-in preamp. My question is, at home, do I need to ground it before I will connect to external speakers via Leak 230 amp? Or do I just use RCA cables to connect and that's it?

Thanks

I'd just connect it and see if any ground hum is evident before worrying about it. Does it even have a ground wire? Don't see it mentioned in the manual....

It doesn't. You know, when you are new, you read too much and worry too much Thank you, will try

Now, taking vinyl camping is something I never did in the last 55 years of using it!

If you touch the arm and you don't ear a clear hum, it's likely already connected to the built-in phono pre ground. The latter is connected to the amp ground through rca's
