--- Lift the source end ground from the overall shield, and attach the 9 volt battery in series....It will be difficult, if not impossible to shield these components, unless they are placed inside the chassis, or inside a grounded box, and the connection to the cable RCA plug made via a small coaxial cable of high quality....with a telescoped shiled, the source end will have the battery connection to the source ground, and the load end of the shield will be left electrically floating.---

You just described the basic architecture of the box / cable arrangement they use. I opened the box and its got a potted module attached to a simple power supply. The module has jumpers to 6 miniature microphone jacks on the back of the box. 1 meter shielded coax cables run to jacks on pig-tails coming off the source component end of the interconnect in question. Both ends of the thin coax cable have a miniature microphone plug.


--- Just like attaching new cables, there would be the potential for a break-in period, where the dielectreic would settle-in around this new bias point, and reach it's full sonic potential in a matter of days, or perhaps a bit longer. --


Again dead-on. Word from my dealer and a few of his customers who tried it is that it takes 100 - 200 hours to burn-in. Apparently its outrageously bright until it does. A pair of their interconnects just arrived and I've got them burning in with the box in the basement. Unfortunantely the dig cable is still a few days away. As this stuff settles in and I bring it upstairs to the main system I'll post a few impressions...
