Sorry for my ignorance but,Iam a complete novice at such things and have no wish to get fried,cheers.

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?
