How important is EMI and RFI rejection?

So EMI isn't measurable? The main source is AC mains noise and the harmonics. Using a frequency programmable power supply you can see this in action as you will see the fundamental change along with the spuria. 

Get an ADC and install ARTA will give you a host of spectrum analysis. Also there is the Dayton Omni Mic 2. 

Get a Schitt Modi 2 since it has basically no filtering on it's USB input and you can easily measure this. 

Again with the shoddy reading comprehension. Nobody said RFI/EMI can’t be measured. If you wish to pursue this line of illogical argument, why don’t YOU measure it and report back your findings? I’ll tell you why in advance. Because pseudo skeptics actually don’t get down and actually do anything. They just like to argue. Unfortunately their arguments are logical fallacies. I, on the other hand, am a real skeptic, not a pseudo one. I’ve taken the effort to measure RFI/EMI. People in the know go with the flow. 🏄🏻

I remember when I was a youngster ( which is a feat in itself) we had a portable AM radio. All it was was a couple alligator clips and an earphone. Attached the alligator clips to any metal (we would use the garage door tracks)  and you could hear the local radio station clearly and with good volume. RMI is everywhere.

I don't know even where to begin with you guys
You recite electronic theory and then apply it to reality and the assume your conclusions are correct

There is no audio progress with such close minded dogma

The only empirical proof is listening and if it does not support your theory you throw out your theory 

Shielding yes blocks rf and emi but it crushes the dynamics of low level signals which is easily heard with high end tube gear

Anything beyond a twisted pair of high quality wire kills the dynamics

Any rf traveling in the interconnects will get into.the input of an amplifier and raise the noise floor

It must be bled off before it enters the input of every amplifier

A dedicated ground is critical to facilitating the bread off

It makes a huge difference
