    Hopefully I'll have a better chance to look in a bit more detail this weekend and see if I can get it connecting better with top part of the arm.
    Hi Rothchild,

    Sorry to dig up a really old thread. I have the same issue with my newly acquired Genie. Did you ever manage to solve it?

    Default Fixed!

    Looks like Rothschild doesn't frequent here anymore.

    Anyway I fixed mine by striping a bit if litz wire out of an old earphone cable. I took the tonearm apart and ran the wire up the tube and out the bottom of the bearing.

    I soldered one end to the earth point inside the connection block underneath the turntable. At the cartridge end I made a loop in the wire and coated it in solder. I put the loop around one of the nuts for the cartridge bolts and reassembled (had to scrape the paint off the nut a bit to ensure a good connection).

    It now operates totally silently.

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Default Further improvement

    I looked at pictures of the later Genie arm and noticed that they have a similar ground wire. It is attached to the underside of the tonearm (near headshell) via a small self tapping screw. So I've altered mine by drilling a small hole in the arm and attaching the ground wire Inthe same way.
