          I think noise coupling into ground could actually be a big issue. Depends if that ground is earth or just a local reference. The other wires still have “antenna” features though, so that’s the obvious worry.

      If the connections are solid it wouldn’t pick up any more noise than a 6.5mm to RCA adaptor would have. Any jiggle to the cable would result in popping or cracking though, depending on the configuration could be quite jarring.

          Well every conductor is an antenna in theory, in practice it’s the signal to noise ratio that matters, and I really don’t think this would add anything noticeable. The sticky uppy bit on the OP is connected to ground though so that’s negated.

      Insulating tape on the signal wires, then foil tucked around that ground wire.
