Building shielded IC's. Should both shield ends be terminated at the RCA, or only one?

I'm building some interconnects that are shielded, and as my question states, are both shield ends terminated at their respective RCA connector bodies, or only one? If one is not terminated, which is better left unterminated, the source end, or the receiving end?

I tried finding this out but couldn't find an answer, I'm sure someone here knows the answer.

Thanks much,
Dan

Miller, I was expecting this exact comment from you, and you didn't disappoint. I enjoy doing things like making interconnects, and I can't afford the high-priced spread. Some of us just have to do what we can with what we have, and love it just the same, maybe more.

I firmly believe my largely DIY system can outshine very many mega-buck systems. It's the best I can do, and I'm happy, and that's all that matters.
