General audio topics that don't fit into specific categories.

RE: I think the answer must be yes, but how much is uncertain.

"I guess a big faraday cage encompassing your house would help and perhaps eliminate the need for charged cabling, if you do not to contribute to RFI and EMI into your house."

Norm, if the charged cables are like the ones I'm thinking of, the AQ things with a battery pack, the charged aspect will have no bearing on their shielding effectiveness. The charging business is a scheme (a clever one in my book) to reduce problems due to dielectric absorption in the cable's insulation by essentially overpowering the audio signal to the point that it's varying electric filed is unlikely to make a lasting impression on the insulation. And that's a good thing, a very good thing as dielectric absorption can produce distortion that is annoying even in tiny amounts, probably because it's rather "unnatural".
