Someone has suggested shielded twisted pair. I think there was also mention of three conductor coax, but it was dismissed for cost reasons. Will one of you electrical engineers tell me why this is a dumb idea: get some of that standard tinned copper braid, slip it over your coax interconnects, ground it. This would seem to give you a shielded coax at nominal cost. What do y'all think? -Tim
