As far as I can ascertain, the EMI shielding capabilities of Carbon Fibre are similar to those of aluminium foil. It's principle benefit is that it is non-metallic which makes it ideal for certain critical applications (eg avionics).

Wrapping anything in either carbon fibre or aluminium will effectvely shield it from EMI/RFI - and conversely will also stop it radiating RFI/EMI. IF you have nearby equipment that is very susceptible to RFI/EMI they MIGHT be affected by the SB3's display (in which case - turn it off) or the stock PSU which CAN be a rich source of RF (in which case - replace it). -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal... ...SB3+TACT+Altmann+MF DACXV3/Linn tri-amped Aktiv 5.1 system and some very expensive cables ;o) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Phil Leigh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=85 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=38628 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
