Poiema shielded?

I don't think they are Shielded.I tried them on my Thorens table also and though they did sound great,but I did get a hum..I would assume Robert could make you a shielded cable ,but you should check with Robert ...I would'nt hazard a guess on what sound change you would get ( if any ) once the Poiema was shielded...........

I inquired with Robert back when I had a pair of P3's and he does not use traditional shielding (braids, foils, etc.) in the design. Instead he uses a judicious amount of ERS cloth to reject RF.

What are people's best suggestion for a shielded interconnect that is neutral/transparent and tight in the bass region for about $500 used for 1.5m or 2m?

Check out the Audio Art interconnects..very inexpensive and may be what you looking for..With a few Hundred bucks left,to boot!..........

I second the Audio Art..IC3 SE is excellent.
