There are no ground wires to hook up either

Removing the pre-amp circuitry is straightforward and doable by anyone: open the unit with 8 screws, cut two wires, disconnect a connector, then splice/solder/wire-nut three grounds and two signal wires together, running a new wire out the back to ground to your pre-amp

Every turntable I have ever owned since about 1967 has had the phono leads hard wired

But not sure how good those places were - I am now tempted to either A. Buy a receiver and see if it will work differently then or B. Carefully open her up myself as I really do think it is as simple as a loose wire that got tugged on one too many times

This is our second AT-LP120-USB and both have had defective RCA speaker wires

We are using the built in pre amp, the audio cables are hard wired into the player and we plug them directly into speakers

I've been told by more than a few audiophiles that I could very well have wiring that's gone wonky
