How Do I Build a Faraday Cage?


Can anyone provide info on how to best and most cost effectively build a Faraday Cage? Trying to conquer RFI entering tube phono stages? I hope to enclose the phono stage and perhaps the line stage. How do you deal with interconnects, etc. Thanks,

Try going to Office Depot and look for the new style "mesh" office products (letterholders, wastecans, etc).. You may find what you need to cover whatever it is that you need to set up a field around your equipment. Stopping extranious waves is a matter of stopping whatever wavelength(s) is causing the interference. You may need to eventually try some copper shielding postioned or vectored within the wavepaths.
Remember, WL (wavelengths) are not only absorded, they also bounce. what you may stop, may richocette and enter from another angle.

Good Luck,
