That’s what I’ve been doing so phew…just been powering the componentsPanamax stays on.
It should be fine to chain multiple grounds together like that. That said, if two components aren't normally connected together, I'm not sure you want to ground them together. You can also look for any screw on the component you plan to connect this to and use it as a ground connector.Lets try this again, shall we:
Say you buy a component for your setup which requires being connected by a ground cable (and power cable) and the only ground connectors you have are on the turntable and preamp which are in use. Can you connect more than one ground to one connector or do you need to add something else to do that?
As @apholden says, should be fine. You’re just looking to provide the current a route to ground. Whether it’s a shared path should not matter.Lets try this again, shall we:

The best I can say is try it with the volume down low and listen for a 50Hz hum. I don't think you'll break anything.
This is the component i was talking about. It's still in the consideration stage (because of the price tag) but i was curious to know how to connect it.As @apholden says, should be fine. You’re just looking to provide the current a route to ground. Whether it’s a shared path should not matter.
In fact, I have read that in typical topologies you want a single point to ground.
It’s basically an automated Zerostat. It can be installed outside your equipment chain.This is the component i was talking about. It's still in the consideration stage (because of the price tag) but i was curious to know how to connect it.

So it wouldn't matter wether it was connected to the turntable or preamp ground connector? Either one would be good?Go ahead and ground that with your turntable and pre-amp. In fact, now that I know what you're thinking of, that's probably the right ground to use. I was worried you had a weird CD player or something and had visions of a crazy ground loop!
Yeah, and the manual itself says the ground is optional. I really wouldn’t stress over it.So it wouldn't matter wether it was connected to the turntable or preamp ground connector? Either one would be good?
I haven't even looked at the manual haha Just figured based on the videos and pics i've seen of it with the ground connected that it was needed.Yeah, and the manual itself says the ground is optional. I really wouldn’t stress over it.
Nice thing is it'll be easy to figure out!I haven't even looked at the manual haha Just figured based on the videos and pics i've seen of it with the ground connected that it was needed.

Spent most of the morning wondering why everything sounded off. Assumed I was just having one of those days where it just wasn’t satisfying. Went to shut down and saw this: View attachment 136450
Such a moron. I listened to a Mono album late yesterday. I always tell myself not to forget. And I ALWAYS forget.

Why not "try" the box from the guy on the Hoffman board ? Aesthetic ? (hide it), expensive shipping to YYZ ? or just want to avoid another link of wire?I wish I had a mono switch that doesn't
involve me adding something else to my chain.
Yeah I just don't want more links in the chain. If I could keep it entirely separate I'd try it. But not really any viable way to do that. It's kinda annoying that my Arcam can't do something as simple as mono.Why not "try" the box from the guy on the Hoffman board ? Aesthetic ?

My phone has a mono switch. But for shits and giggles I made a mono back last year. Basic soldering skills needed. Chose my own box (very small) and completed it in about 30 minutes. All parts form radio shack for maybe $20. I don't use it but an easy project (does not solve @Mather chain issue).Why not "try" the box from the guy on the Hoffman board ? Aesthetic ?

You're not alone, I did that all the time when I had an MP-7 with a mono switch on the back.Not sure where to put this but since I couldn’t find an “I’m an idiot” thread here is as good as anywhere.

Sometimes happy mistakes happen and certaion stereo recordings sound better in mono! go figure lolYou're not alone, I did that all the time when I had an MP-7 with a mono switch on the back.
