Hi Chaps,
This is my first post in this forum. I live in the Washington, DC metro area but spend plenty of time in Brussels and Wien for work and in Italy for visiting my family.
I have been tinkering with audio for almost thirty five years but unsure as to what to do in this case, I am trying to avoid tonearm hum, an issue with Thorens tables.
Checking my parts bin I found a van den Hul M.C. D501 silver hybrid tonearm cable w/SME plugs and would like to replace the original Thorens TD147 Jubilee cable with the van den Hul.
However, I noticed that both shield and ground of each channel are connected to the ground in both RCA plugs.
Do I cut both shields at the ends to be soldered or just solder shield and ground at the tonearm terminal strip as it was done in both plugs?
Cable came with factory soldered plugs at one end.
Please advise.
Kind regards,
Orazio
