It could be different depending on the interconnects you are using. I am using interconnects that have locking RCA plugs, so I connected the plugs, then used an old headphone cable that I had laying around - stripped the cable to expose the copper, and twisted the bare copper around both RCA plugs and then tightened the locking mechanism to clamp the wire.

I'm not home right now to upload a picture, but these are the RCA plugs I have:
 

 

Like most RCA plugs, the pin in the center is the positive lead and the entire outside body of the RCA plug is the negative lead/ground. So all I did was twist a stripped copper wire around the base of both of these plugs, where the red line is in the picture below, then tightened the locking mechanism to clamp the wire tight.


 
 
A locking plug is convenient because you can use the locking mechanism to clamp the ground wire, but you can still achieve the same result without locking RCA. You can just twist the ground wire tight around the outside body of the RCA plug, or you can try wrapping the ground cable around the outsides of the iPhono2's RCA outs before putting the interconnects on. Maybe the interconnects themselves will keep the ground cable wedged in there tight.
 
Hope that helps!

Thanks,

I haven't listened to it since then but also got a reply from a fellow former about grounding on the centrance dacmini screws at the back, I will try that when I get back in January and also your method as well.

Cheers!

The need is the mother of invention, eh

I have a low output moving coil MC cartridge that requires a load impedance setting of >400 ohms.  The iPhono2 does not have an exact 400ohms settings and the next highest setting is 1k ohm.  Would this be safe?
 
Model No. HANA-SL
Stylus Shibata Nude Diamond
Cantilever Aluminium
Output level 0.5mv/1KHz (SL)
Output balance<1.5dB/1KHZ
Vertical Tracking force 2g
Trackability 60μm/2g
Channel separation 25dB/1KHz
Frequency response 15-32,000Hz
Impedance 30Ω/1KHz (SL)
Suggested load Impedance  >400Ω (SL)
Cartridge weight 5g
Body Colour Black
 
Has anyone used this cartridge with the iPhono2? what is the best load impedance setting?

Hello guys

I just bought iphono 2, but my iphono2 produces a loud buzzing sound. I don't know what should i do to fix this, is my product faulty? Or should i ground the iphono? Thank you

Best Regards

It should be grounded. If this doesn't help though, please use our Support Ticket System platform, available here: http://support.ifi-audio.com
