Slipsik 8

Thank you for sharing that, Florian!

Just a word of caution: Make sure the turntable arm ground is connected to the ground screw of Slipsik. Some Step-Up Transformers have a ground screw to their metal case, but it's not enough connecting the arm ground only to that point, even if there is zero hum in the speakers.

The reason is that if an electric discharge from your body hits one of the cartridge tags, it can be amplified by the SUT and knock out the input circuit of Slipsik. Happened twice to a customer until he figured out that the arm ground wasn't going to Slipsik, but only to his SUT, which wasn't grounded anywhere else. So the arm was in fact not grounded and couldn't pick up the discharge.

Thanks Fredrik for the tip.

I use two ground wires. The one that is integrated on the phono cable, from the turntable to the SUT. And the second from the SUT to the Slipsik 8. I hope that everything should be grounded in the correct way.

Best

Excellent Florian!

That’s the correct way to connect it.
