Hi,
I recently bought the Sony PS-LX310BT turntable. I want to upgrade the system by using a integrated amplifier and a good set of speakers. My turntable has the capability to bypass the built in phono preamp using the PHONO/LINE switch - I believe though a phono signal output requires grounding/earthing (?). However, my turntable does not seem to have a grounding terminal anywhere. I've seen similar products, however, such as the Sony PS-HX500 and Pro-ject Juke Box E, have the same capability to bypass the built in phono preamp but these have a grounding terminal.
My question is: if I can bypass the built in phono preamp and use an external one (integrated amplifier), why does my turntable not have a grounding terminal?
Any advice would be appreciated - thanks.
