Could this be a 'giant-killing' tonearm cable?

No, not the same. What you are hearing are the effects of good screening. Remember my SUT earthing problem? Same effect.

Don't understand
What does the earth flying lead have to do with screening ?

You can do that with my power amps.

It gives the noise the screen is stoping somewhere to go (simplistically).

I own a system largely powered by Naim (a bit modified in some cases) and have found subtle earthing changes to be clearly audible and often quite profound.

Like star earthing a technics 1210 PCB with internal regs for example :scratch:

The flying lead is for connecting the cable's screen to earth.

Star earthing is a scheme which helps to avoid ground loops (hum) by having everything return to a central earthing point.

Martin, I see you and Marco have been on the blower to Yannis for samples of his cable-knit jumpers. Nice detail. . .

Although, it would be taffeta blouses for us, dahling...
