Turntable Ground Wire 3.3ft 18AWG – Oxygen-Free Copper Hum Eliminator Grounding Cable for Vinyl Record Player, Phono Preamp, Amplifier & DJ Turntable, Spade Lug Terminals, Universal Fit

Short 3.3 ft ground wire in 18AWG oxygen-free copper with a silicone sheath and tin-plated spade lugs. Suits setups where the turntable sits right next to the amplifier or phono preamp.

Price range: See on Amazon

What we liked

  • + 3.3 ft length avoids a coil of spare wire when the deck and amp share a shelf
  • + 18AWG OFC conductor in a flame-retardant silicone sheath with a slim 0.11-inch profile
  • + Pre-attached spade terminals need no soldering or wire stripping, and a 2-year warranty is stated

Trade-offs

  • - Too short if the amplifier or preamp sits on a different shelf or across a rack
  • - Tin-plated lugs rather than gold-plated, and the terminals are cold-pressed, not soldered
