Eliminate the buzz ? ??

I currently have a Classe Cap151, Project Xpression turntable, a Music Hall PA 1.2 phonostage, & Vandersteen 1c loud speakers. THere's a buzz only out of the input the turntable is hooked up to. I know I need to ground the turntable, but the amp doesnt having anywhere to ground it to. Just need some step by step trouble shooting to get rid of the buzz, without spending much or anymore money. Thanks John. Should this be posted elsewhere?

Could be that your phonostage is too close to your integated.
A while ago I moved around my equipment because of a new addition to the system and found that I could not put my phonostage close to my preamp or my new DAC. It was not an issue before as it was not near the preamp. I found a new spot next to my TT and all is happy now.

You ground your TT to the phono preamp. If that doesn't help try switching between the mm and mc settings.

How about phonostage? It should have ground at least. If not try to simply tape it to chassis see what happens.
