Grounded Power Cord for Turntable - why not??


None of my turntables use a grounded power cord, and none of them use a quality power cord. I am planning on changing the power cord on my JVC TT101 and was thinking of grounding it but am rather hesitant due to the above observation.

The reason I want to change the lamp-cord to a shielded, high quality cord is to both give the TT cleaner power and to prevent emi from leaking out of the cord into the myriad of signal carriers that surround it.

What say ye?

Just make sure SOMETHING is directly connected to your house ground. Typically that can be the preamp, if everything else is connected to the preamp.
