Building shielded IC's. Should both shield ends be terminated at the RCA, or only one?


I'm building some interconnects that are shielded, and as my question states, are both shield ends terminated at their respective RCA connector bodies, or only one? If one is not terminated, which is better left unterminated, the source end, or the receiving end?

I tried finding this out but couldn't find an answer, I'm sure someone here knows the answer.

Thanks much,
Dan

@millercarbon I made the vh audio diy fine silver interconnects and found them excellent in both sound and value. Saved me hundreds. Same with the Duelund tinned copper speaker wire that many people are using (including Jim Smith of "get better sound" fame).
