Turntable Ground Wire 5ft, 18AWG OFC Anti-Hum Grounding Cable Phono Ground Loop Eliminator, Spade Lug Connectors for Technics SL-1200 SL-1210 SL-1700 SL-1800 SL-1900 Pioneer Record Player Vinyl Setup

5 ft turntable ground wire in 18AWG oxygen-free copper with a spade lug on each end. A basic, low-cost replacement for a lost or broken ground lead between the deck and the amplifier or preamp.

Price range: See on Amazon

What we liked

  • + 18AWG oxygen-free copper conductor rather than copper-clad aluminum, as stated in the listing
  • + Spade lug on each end fits the GND post on the turntable and the ground screw on the amplifier with no soldering
  • + 5 ft length reaches most shelf and rack layouts without leaving a large coil of spare wire

Trade-offs

  • - Spade lugs only: will not fit turntables that use a plug-in ground socket instead of a post
  • - Little-known brand, and the listing does not say whether the lugs are soldered or crimped
