Hey all, came up with a somewhat wild idea to extend the life of my Index Tether, specifically the latter half that attaches to the Trident. What if I got a hold of some braided copper cable sleeves like shown below and then grounded it to my computer chassis with some alligator clips? Would it help with EMI-related issues like the dropouts/snow I'm getting as of late (suspect damaged internal shielding + noisy environment) or is it really only solved with a cable replacement?
