I'm suffering a terrible RFI ingress problem with my active crossover; the RFI enters through the input RCA cable (touching it or putting ferrite clamps diminishes it)
All I have at home at the moment are VanDenHul Integration RCA interconnect (star quad configuration with shield only grounded at source end) which make the problem worse, and some professional microphone cable with the shield connected at both ends which fare a little bit better but still don't solve the problem completely.
Ferrite clamps have, in my system at least, an obvious side-effect of flattening soundstage height, microdynamics and life, and I hate them - even tho they work.
I've seen some RCA cables for sale which comprise four braided conductors, unshielded; the company advertises better noise rejection and RFI immunity than conventional shielded cables. Is that true? I'm tempted to try a pair; they are not outrageously priced - but still a waste of money if they don't work.
In parallel of this I've been trying to work internally and my next move will be to add small caps at the op-amps inputs to ground (at least on the input buffer op-amp) but that's the subject to another post of mine so... let's focus on cable
