Hello sherridd 2,
I would like to raise an objection to this........
The combination of shielding to earth as suggested in the video is not mandatory and not always advantageous.
For example, the Furutech Top power cables Nanoflux and Nanoflux NCF (I use both) are manufactured by the manufacturer as standard WITHOUT shielding applied to earth on one side.
In order to get to know the effect of the one-sided shielding, I have laid shielding and earth on the outside of both Nanoflux and my DPS 4.1 via additional cables and fitted them with plugs. This makes it possible to compare the result with vs. without shielding applied = plug in / out / in.....
The result is that the version with shielding on one side (please do not do it on both sides, that would be absolutely counterproductive) acts like a dynamic brake and could not achieve a suitable impression with me.
The possible character of a DPS 4.1, for example, is clearly slowed down and the DPS 4.1 does not fully show its audio possibilities.
My suggestion is to make a comparison with and without one-sided shielding and only then decide which version suits you best.
Please also have a look at other forum reports on this topic and, above all, at other mains cable - plug combinations from well-known manufacturers.......

The comparison with vs. without creates knowledge.
Rainer wishes you much pleasure with your new mains cable.
