Poiema shielded?

I don't think they are Shielded.I tried them on my Thorens table also and though they did sound great,but I did get a hum..I would assume Robert could make you a shielded cable ,but you should check with Robert ...I would'nt hazard a guess on what sound change you would get ( if any ) once the Poiema was shielded...........

I inquired with Robert back when I had a pair of P3's and he does not use traditional shielding (braids, foils, etc.) in the design. Instead he uses a judicious amount of ERS cloth to reject RF.

What are people's best suggestion for a shielded interconnect that is neutral/transparent and tight in the bass region for about $500 used for 1.5m or 2m?

Check out the Audio Art interconnects..very inexpensive and may be what you looking for..With a few Hundred bucks left,to boot!..........

I second the Audio Art..IC3 SE is excellent.

Sometimes I when I see posts like this regarding any manufacturer's products, I kind of scratch my head and wonder "Why not aks the manufacturer? Surely they would have the entire lo down!"

At any rate, here's the whole scoop regarding the "P"!!! R-v3 I/Cs taken from one of our URLs:

Self-shielding topology combined with judicious and optimal use of Stillpoints ERS treatment to counter EMI / RFI distortions. While commonly used discrete shields dissipate outside interferences to ground, it's a two way street - they also dissipate some of the music signal to ground robbing it of its vitality. Not good!

If we absolutely need to, we can build a discrete shield into the interconnect that's also dis-connectable. We also add this type of sheild in such a way to introduce the least amount of detriment.

In the six years we've been offering our cabling, we've needed to add a discrete shield only twice. Our standard methodology is good enough that we've even built single ended I/Cs in excess of 6m without issue.

Hope that clears that up for you Dennis.

Cheers!

Thanks Robert. Just for the record I did ask you over email but didn't get an answer.

Hey Robert, I got it half right. I even remembered your using the word "judicious," when describing your use of ERS (I was less than 100% certain about the self-shielding topology, so I left it out of my answer - too lazy to go look it up). Give me half credit would you ;)

Hey Tony!

Give me half credit would you ;)

Okay, I appreciate your taking time to help so...how 'bout we meet half way: instead of 500 or a 1000, 750 Points!

CHeers!
