How to shield cable ?

I'm trying to make cables for myself, I collected some good wire and RCA connectors.
But I had some bad experiences in the past with unshielded cable. Can someone give me guidance how to do it ? Where to find material ?...

I always use a high quality (silver plated copper, PTFE) coax and it has sounded quite good to me, with excellent shielding. Do you think it's better to do your own shielding ? Or is it a matter of having the wire available ?

FYI I made interconnects recently and the improvements were startling, not subtle (previous interconnects were also home brew, but equal to $100 audioquest ICs). Here's a link to a previous post of mine describing where I got my cable and RCAs (if link doesn't work search forums for Maplin) .... http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?fcabl&1006063331&read&keyw&zzmaplin Regards Sean
