RF is very sensitive to impedance. By manipulating specific
electrical characteristics to purposely alter impedance in a
controlled manner, the susceptability to picking up external RFI
and / or conducting existing RFI already on the line can be
drastically reduced and / or negated. The same can be said about
EM fields to varying extents.  As to believing that shielding is
a cure all to RFI, i am not of that school. In fact, i know that
shielding can create as many ( if not more ) problems IF
improperly applied. If you've read any of the hundreds and
thousands of posts that i've made either here or on Audiogon,
you would be well familiar with this fact. Most all commercially
available products that i'm aware of apply shielding in what "I"
consider to be a less than optimum manner. I'm sure that there
are some products out there that don't fall into this
generalization on my part, but i'
