Re: Shield/conductor interaction & dialectric choices questions

Thanks Greg R,
I was trying to avoid the shields... but the noise doesn't come exclusively from the AC line. I have two pair of AQ Viper balanced, and when I use those the system has a deep black quiet quality regardless of dimmer usage (though I still have mine off when I listen). Interestingly, I have a 1 meter pair of interconnects made from solid 20 ga silver conductors slid through TFE dialectric, non-twisted, non-shielded, terminated w/single-ended WBT connectors and the noise isn't quite as bad.

Nevertheless, I still plan to build JR's line conditioner/surge protector in a few weeks. I'll probably go w/DIYCable's because I like equipment to look finished (thus the use of TechFlex). Do you have any other sources for a finished looking (I'll build it) JR conditioner?

Thanks again.
