RE: Phono Cable Shielding.

Posted by Duster on January 9, 2017 at 13:00:02:
BTW, the VH Audio V-Quad is said to provide hum-free performance without a braided shield for a phono-level application. Even though the cross-connected star quad geometry of the V-Quad is a self-shielding design, I'm still surprised to hear that it does not require a braided shield for a phono-level turntable application. Another option that may help to reduce hum is the use of a shielded power cord for the TT motor.
