Cable shielding audiophool or facts?
<< < (10/10)
FriedMule:
I have ever only heart one reason for buying expensive cables that I thought made some sense:

If you have a great looking system and then put some cheap looking wires on, it looks wrong, therefore nice looking cables to make it all look great. It's like a great turkey made of a great cook and then only add mashed potatoes and ketchup, the turkey doesn't taste the same.
Gyro:
Iirc, configurations 5/6/11/12 in the above diagrams is where the much maligned and misunderstood 'Directional' audio interconnects came from.

I believe they used twisted pair screened on unbalanced RCA jacks, with the screen connected at the source end only.
Bud:
Just a general comment that single or double shield effectiveness of a specific cable you can look up in the cable datasheet. A reputable manufacturer specifies it there.
FriedMule:
Bud, no doubt about that, but now we are talking about a high end cable and not something anyone have ever written any data on, except the marketing on there advertisements:-)
