I experimented with tonearm cables. I had the exact cable with shielding and without, and it was clear that the shielded one had a closed in sound as you describe. I am using the LPS on a VPI with absolutely no hum/noise, even with the volume control advanced
Shielded phono cables
Hello All
Can you folks help provide me a list of shielded phono cables?
I have moved and in my new location, with fully carpeted flooring, I
am experiencing phono cable hum between my SME V arm, Silver
Breeze phono cables, and Aesthetix IO Signature.
When I replaced the Silver Breeze cable with the stock SME MC501
hybrid silver cables, the hum disappears. There is no hum in
any of the other components, only when the Silver Breeze is plugged
in do I hear the hum. I have never experienced hum before with
the previous setup. The music is closed in when using the SME
cable. I am spoiled for better cables, so, looking for shielded phono
cables around the 1k price range.
I suspect the Silver Breeze Is picking up something. The noise only happens with that cable plugged in.
I may have a damage connection somewhere in the silver breeze and
it is going back for a checkup. I have 2 Benz cartridges and 2 SME V
tonearms so I need another quality tonearm cable anyway.
Thanks in advance
