So im hooking up my record player and theres the like double horned prong (im guessing is a ground). I dont have a typical slot for it since modern-day recievers arent typicaly designed for record players. So my solution was to tape the ground to the bottom of the reciever. I figured that this was logical since I would imagine that the bottom of the reciever is grounded itself. Im listening to it right now, and the sound quality is fine (for an old record player). But I would just love for someone to say "omg, you idiot, pull it out now before you fry your reciever." Thanks in advance,

You're probably fine. I would just secure it to one of the screws holding together the chassis if one is available.

good idea, thanks

If its what I think it is, that "prong" is actually meant to be used with a screw rather than a slot. Here is an example: http://www.ideaphile.com/bmw/v1/t25-ground.jpg

My reciever is only about ten years old and still has ground at the back. You have a good chance of actually having one as well, either one like Primal posted or a thumbscrew type thingie.

Yep, my turntable has one of those but it's a fork not a donut. It attaches to a knurled knob at the back of the amp chassis. It is of course the earth wire.

mines a fork, and no it doesnt have that screw, i had it on my old reciever, but not on this one, but i just moved to college, and i didnt take the turntable

so GAHHH
