The bare copper shield that you are seeing in the image of the Oyaide FTVS-510 is a thin copper foil shield that does not need to be soldered to the return, since it makes intimate contact with the silver plated copper braided shield along the entire length of the cable, which acts as a drain wire for the copper foil shield. The braided shield simply needs to be flayed and twisted into a bundle, which is then soldered to the return.

thanks!

I am aware that you have had a bad experience with silver,but (as Duster said) they have a good synergy in a digital application.
That said:Today, a pair of Clear Day RCA ICs popped up on AudioGon.This 24ga silver IC with Eichman connectors has been my reference for a S/PDIF cable.
Since Paul/Clear Day will no longer build his cable with the Eichman (became too expensive),this is the only way to get your hands on this cable.
Originally,this IC was $185/meter pair.Just FYI.
