If you don't connect the ground wire, then you'll hear a lot of hum when the phono input is selected. You can connect it directly to the chassis of the amp, but if there isn't a specific chassis ground connection, then chances are your amplifier doesn't have phono inputs. If that's true, you'll need to get a phono stage preamp. Otherwise, volume will be very low - You'll barely hear the record even at full volume.
