How Do I Build a Faraday Cage?


Can anyone provide info on how to best and most cost effectively build a Faraday Cage? Trying to conquer RFI entering tube phono stages? I hope to enclose the phono stage and perhaps the line stage. How do you deal with interconnects, etc. Thanks,

Check out Verastarr.com for their "StarrDamp CS" sheets as one approach to reducing cabinet resonance while simultaneously shielding against RFI.
For interconnects, check out Zcable.com for their "Z-Sleeves". They have already designed and built what you want.
I use one surrounding the IC from turntable to phono RCA input, and one surrounding the older, fixed, power cord of my turntable, with resulting audible benefits as mentioned on the Zcable,com website.
If one places one of the tubular Z-Sleeves right in front of a squawking parrot, or Audiogon member like myself, furiously typing away, there is an immediate sweetening or mellowing of the noisy output from either one :>)
