hello all,
i've not really been following this thread, so i hate to cause controversy
at such a late stage, but:

> connectors use "balanced" cable.

the chap who i generally run to for advice (he installed Genesis' studio in
70's, helped upgrade the studio where i work) taught me to wire un-balanced
connections with balanced cable by splicing the 'spare' signal wire with the
drain wire / screen. i think this helps with noise rejection a little more -
though i couldn't really say...

cheers
