Lee was talking about the routing of the wires on Suttons amp. Would shielding the conductors improve performance also? Would you shield to grd.?

I'm talking about using metal shielding.

Any thoughts?

Shielding never hurts. If the source impedance is low, like in a power supply, shielding does nothing but add complexity. However, having an entire unit shielded from RFI radio frequency interference, is always a good idea.

I think in the PL's situation just the low level inputs to the pots and back to the board is all you need.

Just remember Lee PFM.LOL They are sending me 1 foot of it to test. Dude I have more wire coming also. You need to get me a list of what I need for the 4000. I will soon be sending the 3300.
