Just keep in mind that "well shielded" and "low capacitance" are antithetical qualities, which I am certain Dover knows. Some others might not. Which is why I mentioned the AntiCables approach to shielding that does not add much capacitance.
Does Everyone Use 2 Phono Cables with SUT
I just learned a rather expensive lesson from my audio dealer. I always thought I only needed a phono cable from my turntable to my SUT. By adding another phono cable (not interconnect) from the SUT to the phono preamp, I got a nice improvement in “efficiency.” Everything just flows better.
I guess everyone uses 2 phono cables?

@lewm It isn't obvious to me how the spiral ground wire actually shields. It seems too loose to do much... |
Wow, you must like soggy bass and rolled off high frequencies - usual single strand attributes - no damping factor. ( Yes I have heard the anti cables ) The above statement is only relevant to the particular shielded cable you tried. Specifications for Anticables are 0.0095nanofarad/ft - 38 picofarad per meter. I use a high gauge stranded silver phono cable - twisted pair with double shielding - only measures 48 picofarad in total including the connectors despite using much thicker conductors than the Anticables. Generalisations can be dangerous - pays to check the specs. |
