RE: Ordered some..will see (nt)

I am not making a claim. I have said already that I have personal hypothesis about this subject. And that is currently the right position for my point of view. Calling it fiddling is belittling. Swenson and the folks on ASR and Computer Audiophile are also thumbling around this subject and there are some great engineers that can not explain nor measure the effect either. I know that Phasure USB is going over the top with multiple interconnected shields (and getting good reviews)

By connecting a thin wire between the end points of the braid you form a closed circuit for a small (internal or external induced) current to flow. That is a different connection scheme from the floating shield, or 1 point type of shielding strategy that we all have used for a long time. Is it shunting/shorting what is causing the effect? Is it the breaking of the leakage current between components? Is it reduced antenna effect, is the RFI trapped in the loop? Is the shield charged by the small electric current and therefore acting as a better kind of shield? I am also interested in good answers, as I like explanations myself, but for the moment I am happy fiddling around.

Saying this is a forum is correct, but I am not obligated to have a discussion nor answering questions from anyone who make subjective remarks a lot of the time (connector a, plating b, cable c etc..).

Cheers Juut
