Proton NMR (or any form of NMR or MRI) is quite delicate. Yet they're rigged in (okay, a kettle lead wouldn't quite do the job here) with... Pretty standard cables. Thick, heavy duty ones that are capable of supplying the required amount of electricity safely. I don't know the tech specs, but it looks crude - just big cables. In fairness, it has to support a superconductor and associated gubbins...
Smaller spectroscopy machines are also pretty sensitive - I spent quite a lot of time working with UV/VIS and infrared spec and these are plugged into the wall with pretty standard cables, yet achieve remarkably good signal to noise ratio. Why? There is clever stuff inside that helps reduce noise. I assume hi fis are the same.
I hope they are, God knows my house is full of stuff to add noise. My bandit is pretty good at picking it up, sadly... As is every other guitar amp I've owned

Anyway, how's the bass playing going? I've spent a long time playing bass recently, and I've not had terrible issues with noise. Brand new strings do get a bit noisy, but after a few weeks of playing they do get a bit smoother and quieter
Also, practice guitar with an od pedal, distortion channel an gain maxed. You'll soon find your muting is decent
I’m so bored I might as well be listening to Pink Floyd
there's joy to be found in the simplest of tasks, and even the worst of tunes, if you look hard enough
I'm watching Fargo and playing bass right now.

In other, bass-related news, I've fitted a new bridge to my no. 1 bass to bring the strings a little closer together (I cut a new nut the other day to do the same at that end) - quite pleased with the results
Well, hey, let's all just believe whatever we fancy then without putting it to the test...is that what you would prefer?!
