Furetech power cable and shielding

Why the wall side only?

• This is refered to s a "Floating Shield"
• it will "wick away" any EM/RFI noise to the ground pin - to earth
• connecting it a both ends may allow EM/RFI into the components circuitry - not good

This is a common technique that can be applied to any cable (i.e. interconnct, mains and speaker cables), PROVIDED the cable has a shield as well as a neutral and signal wire.

Some say you should complete the circuit and attach a wire on the female end of the Shield back to the male side shield. I’m not saying the ground plug on the connector. I read about this on audiophile style and it made a difference in my system with a lower noise floor and tonality. 
try it before you knock it.

Ok everyone, thanks for the confirmation and explanation. So I will connect the shield to the earth pin on the main side but not on the other side.

Thanks and have a nice summer.
