Re: Getting ready to start JR's 89259/1506a Twisted IC's but a question on the outer braid

How you place the cap is up to you. Idealyl it should be inside the barrel of the RCA plug, and have HS tubing over the leads so they do not touch the hot wire connection, or short the wrong end to the barrel.

However, it takes a large barrel, and a tiny cap to do this, and often times, neither are available. In that case, stop the outer braid short of the metal barrel, connect one end of the cap to it, and wrap it with tape, leaving the cap sticking out, then run the other lead into the barrel end, and make it's connection to ground, then screw the barrel shut. Tape the cap to the outside of the cable near the end of the barrel, so that both of it's leads are insulated from everything else (except for the correct connections, of course), and you're done.
