If you take the + & - wires for each side and twist them together evenly you'll create a shield. This is the theory used in twisted pair wiring. Additionally you'll want to verify theat the tonearm itself is properly gounded using the black or brown wire. I would hesitate to use fully shielded in this application because the shielding may provide too much resistance to tonearm horozontal movement as it tracks across the record.
Technics SL1200 Cardas REWIRE Shielding
I am currently looking to rewire my tone arm. I know that cardas makes a nice litz wire for rewiring tonearms. I have a bit of a technical question. I am hoping to use a shielded wire and I was just curious how to connect the shield within the wand and tonearm assembly?
Does anyone know of a good source to get a spool of this wire, in either shielded or unshielded format?
I believe the wire has the following flow from inside out.
Litz->dilectric enamel-> 4 straight->1 shield for all 4->dilectric.
It sees as though if I had the left and right independently shielded then I would be able to connect to the cartridge as follows left signal left ground, right signal right ground. But since there is only one shield I am uncertain of how to do this properly. Some advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks a million guys looking forward to hearing from you.
