Before Red and White became the typical standard, turntables often had black and grey RCA plugs, or black and white. I am trying to figure out which is which, in the case of my technics turntable with black and grey plugs. I'm assuming Grey is right. Is this correct?

Black is left, grey is right. :)

I miss my Technics....

Thanks. This is what I was betting it was when I noticed a louder groud hum when I removed just the grey RCA plug. Also means that I have been listening to it wrong for some time now.

And that means you've just made your stereo sound a lot better by a very simple method! Congrats!

Are you interested in a TT tweak? It worked for me!

I do have some superballs that I drilled holes into a while back for the bottom of my turntable. I never tried them out, I think I will try them today.
