Can anyone please help me!I recently made a directional interconnect with RCA plugs using Connectronics Musiflex microphone balanced type cable. This cable consists of two insulated inner wires and a bare copper drain wire which contacts a plastic shield.
I used a wiring regime suggested to me by someone here. That is connecting one insulated wire to the centre pins of the RCA plugs and the other insulated wire to the RCA collars. Finally at the source end I also soldered the drain wire to the collar (but not at the destiniation end).
Problem is it sounds cold/clinical/hard and lean, compared to the way I had it wired originally. Then is sounded rich smooth, full and relaxed. Beforehand I had connected the cable in a way which was supposed to be wrong. I had twisted the two insulated wires together and connected them to the centre RCA pins and connected the copper drain wire only to the RCA collars.
My question what are the other "proper" ways to connect up the plugs. Can you for example not connect the copper drain wire/shield at all or connect it at both ends instead of one? or something else? I need to get some richness back.
Any help would be much appreciated.
