I reterminated my Triplanar cable ends with xlr plugs. I followed instructIons that had me connect the shield to pin 1. Worked great with Ayre and Einstein. I think you want the shield grounded somehow, soldering a wire to the end of the shield that can be connected to the ground screw of the phono pre probably gets the job done too.
shield to pin one of xlr
I have an einstein phonostage with only XLR inputs. I am constructing a tonearm cable. Most schematics (ayre, boulder, aquavox) recommend connecting the shield to pin one. Some schematics recommended just leaving pin 1 not connected. The shield is either not connected or connected to ground on the phono stage.
What is the advantage connecting the shield to pin 1? I would assume that it is related to how the phonostage handle the pin 1 connection.
Thanks
