******** electrical question!

[Pubey]

hi all, i've just moved flats and am having some hi-fi issues. my turntable is now quite a way from my amp, and so i can't attached the turntable grounding wire to the amp (the amp has a built in phono stage). A work around is to ground the turntable to something that is already grounded, so if I buy this:

and then if i plug it into the wall and attach the grounding wire to this will it solve the issue (or even use this to replace my turntable plug).

any help greened.

Appreciate that a cheaper option is that I could just buy a long piece of wire and extend my grounding wire, but i don't have a soldering iron!

Move back to your old flat mate... That should do the trick.

thought about it, but it's got a spade plug attached on the end of the earthing wire which i don't really want to take off and then try to strip back. appreciate the plug idea is probably a waste of a fiver, but is it essentially doing the job?

Just connected the ground wire to anything metallic (and not painted) and it should be fine. Any exposed metalwork in the house has to be grounded by law (unless you've got a dodgy flat!)

I have a soldering iron, if you wanna use it.
