How important Is shielding with RCA wires? (Ethan Winer, new video)

@thyname Another ad hominem. That provides some insight but not about the video or its creator. 

This video has gotten over 1k views in less than a day. As we saw in the Prima Luna vs. Raven video, the introduction of facts in the service of argument was crucial to people being convinced by the video. If there are facts or procedures asserted in this video that are questionable, spell that out. Otherwise, you're just attacking someone by name or association. 

You don't need shielding until you do. 😁

There was no insult. I said what I think. I know the individual for many years via all audio forums and audio groups on FB. He is in all of them (that have not banned him). I really don’t need to watch the video knowing the source. It’s the same drum I have heard beating for years. Why is that an insult? Similar to learning about vaccines from a prominent anti-vaxxer you tube channel. I won’t watch the video if I believe that vaccines help with the pandemic. Very simple thought process.

Consistent with what @mapman points out, shielding in RCA wire can make a huge difference between a SUT and phono pre.  It would be simple to show a YouTube video highlighting the impact.  I will try to hide all my whiskey bottles better than Mr. Winer did.

I'll watch it. Not twice. I'm kind of predisposed with Mr. Winters. I've watched a lot of his stuff. Do I buy it, Believe it, or Promote it? Not so much. The one thing all of his type agree on, that I agree with, "you don't need to spend a fortune on cables to have great sound". I'll add, you better know what you're looking for if your going to go that route.

Not all cables are equal because they measure the same.. Not by a long shot. Cable construction isn't making a pretty cable (though it helps) there is a LOT of tech in cable construction. Pinwheel, Helix, multi alloy, Harp, mag/tech, on and on and on.. 

NO idea what he's gonna say, but I'm sure my ears will get red and my eyes will glaze over before the end of the flick.  If not for any other reason than the monotone 40 voice. I wonder if he could get excited? Yippee just doesn't seen like it would come out of him, to tell the truth. :-)

Eeyore saying "yip.... pee, I'm tired"
