Sbrownnw - I took a detailed look at the electrical specs of the Mogami (I should have done that first) and I didn't see a problem with them - very similar to many other good interconnect cables - except the capacitance was 1/3 of other cables I have used, but that's a good thing - high capacitance can be an issue.
A couple of questions...
I am guessing that the end of the cable to which the floating shield is attached to is connected to the "source component" - is that correct?
- if not - give that a try
Do the sources you are dissatisfied with have a three-pin or a two-pin plug?
If they have a two-pin plug, have you tried grounding the chassis of that component?
I have a Pioneer Elite DVD player with a two-pin and it creates a hum if the chassis is not grounded. It also sounds much better with the chassis grounded.
You also mention certain media does not sound good
- can you identify those media and their sources
Thanks...
