To float or not to float

Cable Asylum

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

I recently re-cabled my Turntable with a 2 Meter NF cable. I attached the shield to the ground on the TT and also on the RCA plug going into the phono pre.

Now I have changed my TT around and I only need about 70 cm of cable so I am thinking of shortening the TT cable to lower the capacitance ( I think that is what it's called ) so my TT will work with more MM cartridges.

Question is: Should I attach the shield to the ground to the new PCA plug going into the phono pre or not?
