You're talking audiophool myth.

Yeah, sure, whatever you say.

I wonder if Arny can explain why companies like
Marconi Electronics, and Racal UK use shielded
mains cables on their equipment.

These companies barely exist any more outside the defence market.

What's the relevance to audio ?

They manufactured audio test equipment.
I was at a facility just a few days ago that had a Racal-Decca
IMD system.

Racal Decca ? That must be a bizarre curiosity. Racal also made magnetic
tape
(Racal Zonal) on account of its business in FM instrumentation (not audio)
tape
recorders.

They actually made quite a range of equipment, under Racal, Racal Dana, and
Racal Decca names. Remember that Decca was first and foremost an electronics
group, Decca Radar, and Decca Navigator

None of these companies was notable for high spec audio test gear. They
did make
general test equipment for sure but nothing to associate them specifically
with
pro-audio or hi-fi.

One used to see lots of Marconi and Racal, plus of course Wayne Kerr in
studio workshops. Another UK maker, Ferrograph, had an RTS that was
ubiquitous.
