I've seen a mod that eliminates the need for the GND.

Cheers for the link, but I think that looks like a bit too much of a job for me. I don't have a soldering iron and I don't really want to risk damaging my turntable.

Anyone know any shops that do this sort of stuff?

I'm still waiting for someone to let me at a deck to do that. :-)

Not watched it yet but if that's the one where you do the grounding via the rca-cable shielding ---> it did not work nicely for me.

If you are eager to learn more about the turntable look here:

The only way I can see it not working is if the RCA cable shielding has been kinked or broken in some way, say if you have trapped it under something.

replace the RCA and then try it?
