I'm not framiliar with your brand of amp, but if you have phono inputs on it, it's usually the ground wire from a turntable.

Generally, any time I've seen a ground wire I've assumed it would be connected with good mechanical contact to a metal structure of something else that we know to be grounded.

I assume this amp doesn't have a three-prong plug?

Yeah I want to know what brand it is before I actually try to assist you with this problem. Because of course all amps are made differently.

From what I was told, sometimes those wires are just there but at the same time they aren't what color is the wire?
