N-set, before you wrap the signal wires with PTFE tape, I should mention that I have had some PTFE "tubing" on hand for quite a while, for "tubular" shield spacing, if I ever actually do it.  I should also point out that most decent shielded IC has some sort of spacing between the shield and signal wires.  The sonic fog added by shielding might be from "capacitive coupling", but I am stuck with shielded IC for the run from the SUT to the phono; otherwise, noise is BAD.  I can't remember right now if I got the PTFE tubing from Michael Percy or Chris Van Haus (VH Audio) but it is available, along with braided, tinned CU "tubing" for shields, and braided this and that tubing for outer sleeves.

Never tried the weird little connectors, but brass is a shitty conductor.

God, this sounds like the very worst sort of DIY threads!  FYI, I HATE DIY!

Best regards,
Paul S
