Someone I know who is a wary big audiophool told me of a new "magical" solution for shielding cables and asked me if it works, but I have not enough knowledge to decide that, hope that you will help:-)
Imagine a cable. It has mounted a braided metal sleeve that are only connected to the amplifier, on top of that, there is a heat shrink tube and lastly a second braided metal sleeve only connected to the source. so that the two metal sleeves, separated by the heat shrink tube, makes a sort of capacitor with one leg on the amp and the other "leg" on the source, i.e. a CD-player.
Would that have any effect on EMI or RF?
EDIT: forgot to say that the one he has talked about is non balanced phono-cables, but my question is generel about that type og "magic" shielding:-)
