sleepwalker65 - what I’m asking is how exactly would you build them? I tried understanding what you’ve already written but, as I’m a novice, I’m a bit confused. Do you solder the shields of the interconnect cables to anything? If so, to what and where?
Phono cable build question
I’m replacing the phono cables on my Technics 1200 and have decided to use cable that has two conductors and is shielded. My question is what do I do with the shield?
When making regular interconnects with shielded cable, I normally solder the shield to the negative conductor and only on the source side of the cable. Do I do the same with phono cables? I thought maybe I might instead solder the ground wire to the shield, not to negative, and also have a separate traditional ground wire go to the preamp ground terminal.
