Balanced Interconnects without a screen

I'll come to the Audio Club meeting Alan, as I'm also very interested in your Sointuva speakers. I've attended their meetings in the past but a long time ago.
Being Pedantic - it's not a "difference" that I hear, but a significant improvement! The inspiration came from my previous experience with the Decca cartridge in the attached photo, shown alongside its screening can. Using the cartridge "naked" gave a vast improvement in clarity, detail etc, same as I've been describing with the cables, but there was a significant hum which turned out to be caused by the direct drive turntable motor. To solve the hum problem & still benefit from removal of the can - I instead screened the turntable motor by placing and earthing a modified Pizza tray between motor and platter - as shown in the other photo with platter removed. The screen in your example could perhaps be placed around the switching power supply rather than around the cable, so as to benefit from the improvement in that cable?
By the way please look out for an email from me with comments sent to me that I should probably not post here for public viewing.
I look forward to meeting you in September!

Hi @Michael

I'm really looking forward to meeting you at the Sydney Audio Club session.

We can discuss further there 😀

Cheers

Alan
