Uninsulated bare copper wire for turntable ground OK?


I have to span about 3 feet from TT to phono stage so the ground wire that the TT came with is too short. I have access to bare copper wiring that is long enough.  Is it fine to use this?

Yep.  It's fine.

You need insulated grounds for safety grounds (which this is not), but if it contacts any other metal which could have a potential it could put a lot of noise into your phono. I'd suggest you pick up any cheap hook up wire from Parts Express or the like.
