Can anyone recommend some shielding/braiding that I could cover my duelund dca20ga interconnects with please ?
When I made the cables I didn’t consider shielding as hum or interference of any kind has never been an issue until I went from all ss gear ( main system and secondary) to valve/hybrid gear.
At higher volumes ( only noticed it today ) I can hear a hum which gets louder when the volume is increased and it remains when I pause the track , I know it’s the cables as I swapped them over with others I have ( I have too many ) and then the hum almost disappears but so does the sound quality ! I don’t want to buy or try more cables as these sound superb to me .

Perfect I reckon as that’s where I bought the duelund, any particular size needed ?

Thanks [emoji4]
