I was receiving a strong, local, radio station once when using unshielded Kimber PBJ

interconnects from my Lehmann Black Cube phono pre to the aux inputs on the front of my Denon receiver. A Pioneer PL-50 turntable was connected to the Lehmann Black Cube with its built-in interconnects and ground cable.

I wrote to Kimber, and their response said nothing about the unshielded PBJ cable. Instead, he told me to check that the RCA connectors were clean with no corrosion. He stated that corroded cable connections could make the interconnect act like an antenna.

Well, I cleaned all the connections with no improvement. I then tried shielded interconnects from the Black Cube to the receiver, and the interference was cut in half but not eliminated. That was the end of my experimentation. Also, I never get radio interference when my turntable audio and ground cables are connected directly to the phono and ground inputs on my receiver.
