DH Labs make shielded, directional, 'balanced' cables with RCA connectors, where (if I understand it right) the shielding is only attached to one end of the cable, and not the other, so that theoretically, you avoid ground loops because the shield is not in the circuit with the 'return' leg.
Is there a real benefit to this approach?
Follow Ups:
The advantage is that there is no signal current through the shield- the signal and ground get treated the same way, and the shield is merely shield.
Its not a perfect arrangement, but I would expect it to work a little better. We used to make interconnects in this manner many years ago back in the 1980s.
