Hi.
I'm experiencing a slight hum in the left channel that can only be heard when about a foot or less from the speaker while the right channel is dead quiet. I've isolated the issue to one of the interconnects which is a Transparent MusicLink Plus.
Since I cannot afford new IC's at the moment, my questions are:
Is there anything I can do to possibly fix the problem? The solder joints look good but should I resolder the shield or might this cause more problems?
If I just let things ride for now, can the damaged shield pick up noise?
Thanks in advance.

The hum follows the cable. These cables are connected between the output of a Kinergetics crossover/sub amp to the input of a Cary power amp. When I swapped cables, the hum moved to the right channel.
I noticed that there is a bend on one end. Should I slowly peel back the insulation to see if the braid is compromised (stretched)? If it is, how would one go about repairing a shield?
