Denon DP-1200 question

I just picked up a DP-1200 from ebay, supposed to be in working condition. So I take it out of the box and hook it up, and there's no interconnect cable built in, and none included. Three plugs in back, left/right/ground. I plugged in a regular interconnect, no ground wire, and it sounds like garbage. Wondering if this is standard for this unit and what kind of connector I need.

I'm used to seeing connections built into turntables.

thanks

A very nice table. :)
Define the 'garbage' sound.
You probably need to connect the groundpost of the turntable to a groudpost on an amplifier or phono pre.

Which leads to the question; To what input have you connected the table?

Welcome to AK btw. :)
 
Garbage = humming. Actually sounds pretty nice besides that.

I've got an NAD7100, am looking for a suitable place to screw a groundwire into that.

and thanks for the nice welcome ;D
 
This is a nice sweet TT. I have one and love it. Its my backup now, main being the Marantz TT15S1. Steady speed and a workhorse. Me got it off bay too in mint condition. the Denon DL-160 goes very well with it and am sure so does the 110. What cart do you have going?
 
Cart says "Grace" across the front, don't see a model #. I have a question though. The little bar assembly that controls the tonearm height is a little sticky, it shuts off and lifts off fine at the end of the record, but it doesn't go down far enough when I hit play. I have to give it a little nudge to get it down far enough, then it's fine. I put some oil down the shafts of that assembly, but wondered what else I might adjust... thanks
