wire for my phono cables. I experimented with 26 ga copper magnet wire first and it is not bad. In my environment I had to go with shields, at least for daytime use. Nights were not to bad for RFI. What I settled out on was 28 ga silver wrapped around 3/8" foam backer rod terminated in Eichmann's. Extremely low capacitance, 25 pF for a 5 foot run. I found some 3/8 ID foam pipe insulation which I put around the cables and then wrapped it with aluminum foil and grounded it only at the preamp end. I am considering going to 9 pin D-Sub connectors on the end that plugs into my TT arm. If I could figure out a slick way to rewire my preamp, I would put in a D-Sub for the phono input there. Unfortunately the RCA's are hard wired into the PC board.Jim N
