Will this preamp work with mm and/or mc turntable cartridge?

This preamp is mainly designed for moving magnet (MM) turntable cartridges.Ben Jessen

how do i use the ground?

I use one of these Behringer 400s with my Project turntable, which comes with a ground lead to minimise the notorious Project turntable hum. Alone it does not entirely eliminate the hum. My amp doesn't have a ground connector. However, I then also ran another ground lead from the preamp to a close-by heating radiator bleed valve. This eliminated any trace of hum or interference completely! So the trick is to ground the PP400 itself AND the turntable. Incidentally, the PP400 is a superb entry-level preamp, very Very small. At the current Prime price it's an absolute steal.

Is there any way to reduce the amplification? I'm getting terrible distortion from my un-amplified turntable.

There is no way of turning it down, it maybe that your turntable is outputting a line signal which is causing the problem.

Have a technics 1210 mk2 and JBL 305 active speakers. will this pre amp be enough to get good quality through my speakers?

The simple answer is yes. Your speakers are active type, thus incorporate a power amplfier, & should have phono/line in connector inputs to connect to the pp400, which just boosts the signal from a turntable to a line-in stronger signal.
