Is running an ungrounded turntable going to cause irreversible damage??
I noticed today channel 2 had quite a loud buzz coming from it, thru headphones and speaker, even with no record spinning. Ran thru line4 (ch2) and 5 & 6 (ch3), same thing. Checked the grounding cable and that had come off. Plugged back into ch2 with it regrounded (which I'm assuming was the actual problem,) and its the same. Could mixing with it ungrounded (wouldn't have been more than an hour or 2) have cocked up something in the electrics of the turntable?? Any ideas/suggestions? Thanks
