Cable Asylum

Interconnects, speaker wire, power cords. Ask the Cable Guys.

Hi and thank you very much for your always valuable advice.
You say "Many audiophiles find that shielding can do more harm than good for analog use.
However, there are coaxial cables that sound excellent when implemented as shielded analog interconnects rather than a shielded twisted pair, et al."
Could it be the case that for analog use to make the signal going through the shield is a bad design choice ?
In the sense that a shield is ok but connected just to one side for only shielding purposes
and then using the twisted wires for transfer the + and - signals ?
I wonder if the good sounding analog cables work like that.
I do not think that the shield is connected on both side
Great cable the one depicted.
Thanks again.

Kind regards,
bg

Perhaps because the frequency spectrum of a digital signal is less important than the cable's consisent impedance? - John Marks 06:49:34 03/22/14 (4)
