[sdiy] non shield cable

[Ken Stone]

Generally speaking, synth levels are so high that induced noise is
insignificant in comparison to the signal, so unshielded can be used. Of
course, purists would say shielded is better, but you can't do that with
bananas.

>Imagine a 3 or 4 rack frames modular, each 12U, so lots of modules. Heavily

>How much will the audio and CV signals suffer, degrade or be prone to
